6000 Tonnes of Steel

This week turned out to be the turning point for M&D and Waiward Steel. Some 6000 tonnes of steel have been awarded for detailing and fabrication. 2600 T Kearl Lake Project, 1000 T Slurry building and 2400 T conveyor belt structures. And there is more to come, fucking finally. We need it, cause the office staff is thinning. But now we are going to build some momentum as it obviously is picking up again. Efficiency and detailing turnaround time needs to improve drastically. The outlook for this year is indeed improving rapidly. There is ever talk of bringing in the 35 Philippine detailers, who were cancelled last March, in the short term. Look here for tonne and here for ton. This switch is some what difficult in the sense that tons of steel in Canada differs from tons of steel in Holland. Mark my words; Imperial Oil is starting, Syncrude, Suncor and the likes will soon follow. Booming again.
