VICTORIA DIVISION NEWS MEMBER PROFILE: FORTRESS SYSTEMS Built on the original Brifel and Electroswitch resistor brands, which have a manufacturing history in Australia dating back to the 1950s, Fortress Systems is dedicated to the manufacture of power resistors for all industries.

We spoke with Phil Newman, Managing Director at Fortress Systems about their recent involvement with the WTIA. “We joined the WTIA towards the end of 2015. We had recently started doing more in-house welding, particularly sheet metal enclosures. We knew we needed to improve our in-house skills and quality systems, but we needed some support to know what we should be looking to achieve, and how to go about it,” said Phil.

“So I spoke with Rob Vernon at the WTIA. He came out and spent half a day with us for around six to eight weeks.

Rob helped us to understand what it was we needed to achieve, and what the options were to achieve our goals. He then helped us on a practical basis to improve the skills of our guys, and helped us draft quality documentation.”

“As a result, we’ve seen a

massive improvement across our business.”

“This year, as our skills progressed, we requested help from the WTIA again.

As we’d raised the bar on our quality standards, we wanted to take on work that required certification to AS1554. I’m pleased to report that we’ve just completed our first job in compliance with AS1554, and I’m really pleased that Fortress is now able to do this kind of work in-house.”

“I was really quite surprised that we could talk to the WTIA and get the help we needed straight away, without having to go looking for it. I’ve been very pleased with the entire process.

Rob helped our business enormously,” said Phil.

NSW DIVISION NEWS The July meeting of the New South Wales branch will feature a tour of the Onesteel Sydney Steel Mill. This mill produced 425,000 tonnes of billet and 342,000 tonnes of steel bar in the 2014-2015 financial year, with a target of 467,000 tonnes of billet and 420,000 tonnes of steel bar this year.

Sydney Steel Mill site is a compact Steelworks, also referred to as a ‘mini-mill’, and is a key component of OneSteel Steel Manufacturing business.

This site includes the Sydney Melt Shop, commissioned in 1992, which converts scrap steel back into quality billets that supplies the majority of Sydney Rolling Mills feed requirements as well as billet for the Newcastle Rod Mill.

The Danieli designed Melt Shop utilises an Electric Arc Furnace to produce ~90 tonne batches of molten steel, also known as heats, at ~1650°C. Each heat is alloyed at the Ladle Treatment Furnace to refine the steel into the required grade before going to the Continuous

Commissioned in October 1994, Sydney Rolling Mill is a 16 Stand Danieli designed Mill with a peak operating capacity of 95 tonnes per hour, with warm charged billets, or 78 tonnes per hour with cold charged billets.

The Mill is highly flexible, with convertible stands that can be placed either horizontally or vertically. This configuration reduces the need to twist the bar from stand to stand.

Additionally, the Mill is equipped with Quick Change Over facilities, allowing a change from one product to another in the most efficient manner possible.

QLD DIVISION NEWS Funding for proposed mining projects across Queensland is in jeopardy, with banks refusing to lend money amid concerns that newly introduced laws could make banks equally as liable for environmental clean-ups as the mining companies themselves.

The ‘Chain of Responsibility’ laws were originally aimed at Clive Palmer, but the major players within the mining industry have come out on record saying that the laws have unintentionally caused a range of issues, manifesting in uncertainty for investors.

The Queensland Resources Council said some mining projects were already at serious risk of being scrapped – with two already understood to be in doubt – because of the State Government’s environmental protection laws.

Adani Group has indicated that it may withdraw from the proposed $16 billion mining project in the Galilee basin, citing delays caused by environmental activists.

According to the Courier Mail, a recent survey revealed that the mining industry is losing faith in the Government, with a mere 13% preferring to do business in Queensland over other Australian states.

There is positive news for

the Queensland mining sector though. Demand for Queensland coal remains strong, with exports reaching a record new high of 216.7 million tonnes (Mt), a 3.9% increase on 2013-2014, valued at $23.5 billion in 2014-2015.

Coal exploration expenditure in Queensland was $160.7 million in 2015, and $2058 million over the past five years. Exports for 2015-2016 are reported at 161.6 Mt, with estimates for this year expected to reach 220 Mt. Plus, the petroleum industry in Queensland exceeds $1 billion in production value.

Growth in coal seam gas in Queensland has been

rapid over the past 15 years, peaking at 1,634 wells drilled in 2013-2014. This growth will support the more than $70 billion worth of investment in three liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. This means a quarter of global LNG supply comes from Central Queensland, cementing Australia as a leading LNG supplier.

There is significant potential in the LNG market, with growth in production estimated to increase LNG exports from $14.7 billion in 2012-2013 to $57 billion by 2018.
