British Steel<\/span> <\/strong>has reported a profit for the first year as an independent business since being sold by Tata Steel.
\nThe company posted \u00a347M in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation in the 12 months ending 31 March. British Steel Executive Chairman Roland Junck said: \u201cIn 12 months we have started transforming from an inward-looking production<\/a> hub into a profitable, more agile business by controlling costs, improving our product range<\/a> and quality, and through strategic investments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trimble<\/span><\/strong> has released a variety of new tools for Tekla Structures, which it said will enable customers to detail miscellaneous steelwork easily and quickly. Expanding upon the group of default components already available in Tekla Structures, Trimble has added new components to address more complex situations. The new tools, which can be used for a multitude of projects, whether it\u2019s residential<\/a>, industrial<\/a> or architectural, are said to allow detailers to create curved platforms, spiral staircases and mezzanine floor<\/a> systems.<\/p>\n

Swansea Council <\/span><\/strong>has approved plans for a \u00a3500M redevelopment which is set to reinvigorate a large swathe of the city centre. The 11.5-hectare project will be home to new shops<\/a>, restaurants, offices<\/a>, housing and a cinema<\/a> to the north, and an indoor arena and hotel<\/a> to the south. The scheme, which is likely to include a number of steel-framed<\/a> structures, will also involve the partial demolition of the existing St David\u2019s shopping centre.<\/p>\n

Steelwork contractor Severfield<\/span><\/strong> has announced that its pre-tax profits nearly doubled in the year to March, rising from \u00a39.6M to \u00a318M on the back of surging orders and the first full-year contribution from the acquired Composite Metal Flooring business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
