A team of Rilmac thermal insulation engineers have recently won an award from British Steel. The team of Andy Grant, Neal Parratt and Colin Dixon are a key element in Rilmac Insulation’s regular maintenance contract at British Steel’s Scunthorpe plant. They were given the Recognition Scheme Award for providing excellent out of hours support.

With a plant manufacturing quality steel to the scale of British Steel in Scunthorpe time is a valuable commodity. Down time can cost thousands of pounds. New Turbines and Blowers were being commissioned on the site, a process which would include industrial insulation. Unfortunately processes earlier in the commissioning had become delayed and the Rilmac team would not be able to start at the allotted time.

Aware of the importance of the Turbines and Blowers getting up and running Andy, Neal and Colin chose to work out of hours, working through the night to complete the job as soon as they were able. Their planning and dedication saved the customer time and money. British Steel recognised the extra effort and support and awarded the whole team for their passion, commitment and dedication.

Congratulations Andy, Neal and Colin!
