Contact Details
BlueScope has commenced development for the scope of work and estimate for a furnace reline, repair and upgrade of ancillary equipment/plant/systems allowing 6BF to re-start for a second campaign to replace the production of existing No. 5 Blast Furnace when it completes its current production campaign.
6BF initial build and 5BF's last reline included significant commonality of equipment, systems and materials with each other. Commonality relates to the use of materially similar equipment, materials and or technology/systems. Based on the current 5BF's performance, there are significant aspects of the design and or equipment and or materials (commonality items) whose performance on No. 5 Blast Furnace BlueScope require to be utilised on No. 6. The utilisation of these commonality items will assist BlueScope to retain the production and asset life and business return benefits achieved from these elements in No. 5 Blast Furnace into the second campaign of No. 6 Blast Furnace.
Procurement will be undertaken directly by the BlueScope project team utilising ICN to assist with identifying potential suppliers and contractors. ICN will manage the EOI phase and be the conduit for responding to EOI submission queries and or status. BlueScope will directly issue tenders to and correspond with selected tenderer. BlueScope will advise tenderers of their success or otherwise and where requested will provide feedback to unsuccessful tenderers. While tenders will be sought from a broad spectrum of potential suppliers/constructors, those more local to and familiar with the site will have a natural advantage.
The construction works are planned to be undertaken across several years on a more standard weekday basis to reduce the intensity of construction activity which is a feature of the more traditional or typical blast furnace reline where it is undertaken on a shutdown 24/7 basis.
Successful tenderers will be required to comply with the Terms & Conditions and other documents shown below. Please review these prior to commencing an EOI.
