Iron & Steel

Comprehensive engineering solutions for the heaviest of heavy industries

For more than 70 years, the Greenbank Group has worked across numerous heavy industries to provide comprehensive engineering solutions designed to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve environmental performance.

We have worked extensively with producers of iron and steel products across the world and have extensive experience in the design, manufacture and installation of the plant equipment required for the handling of raw materials, fuel and waste by-products such as granulated slag.

Greenbank’s comprehensive approach to supporting the sector can deliver complete replacement systems or refurbishment of existing equipment for blast furnaces, coking ovens and other critical areas within iron and steel plants.

Our wear protection systems, incorporating cast basalt and alumina ceramic linings, are proven to extend the effective lifespan of equipment operating in the harshest of environments and are ideally suited for a sector requiring the highest levels of resilience.

All our products are designed for minimum maintenance, and therefore reduced downtime, and are backed by an exceptional engineering services team that embraces the latest technology, including 3D scanning and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM) modelling techniques.
