Mining, oil & gas
Customers in the Mining, Oil and Gas industries are often under significant time and cost pressures. Our BlueScope Distribution teams are experienced when it comes to supplying steel and aluminium to mining projects around Australia. We understand projects need to meet important deadlines, and we work hard to reduce the pressures on contract managers by providing a single point of contact and a one-stop-shop scenario for steel and aluminium supply.
At BlueScope Distribution, we believe our people are one of our key strengths, and we understand it is paramount for our customers to have close working relationships with our teams. This way, we can be more than a steel supplier, we can become a resource for technical information, project coordination, and a supply partner, to ensure the project is completed on time, to budget. Meeting project milestones, technical product support, certification and material traceability are just some of the ways our teams can deliver value. Servicing Australian mining, oil and gas businesses with quality products, processing and solutions, our teams can coordinate the supply and processing of steel and aluminium products to meet mining project timelines. Many of our customers include businesses who:
- Manufacture products from the steel and aluminium supplied by us. Their manufactured products then go into building new mines around the country.
- Engineer and fabricate products that are used to deliver improvements and expansions on new and old mining sites.
- Provide maintenance services to keep Australian mine sites running smoothly
As part of the BlueScope group of companies, we can supply a full suite of steel and aluminium products and investigate options with the BlueScope mill to produce steel grades outside the standard range. We can offer several third-party certification options as well as non-standard test requirements. Backed by our commitment to quality, we help reduce compliance risk through our ISO 9001 quality management system accreditation.
