A world-class Search and Rescue Training Centre is being constructed at Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. Once complete, the steel-framed centre will offer a safe environment for simulated offshore rescue missions.

Capable of processing up to 395,000 tonnes of waste to generate electricity, the Project Kelvin Energy-from-Waste facility in West Bromwich has required 5,200t of steelwork for its superstructure.
