The Australian experts in steel

As Australia's leading manufacturer of flat steel products, BlueScope Steel is able to provide excellent local technical advice for any linepipe project's steel requirements.

We have a large in-house scientific and engineering research group, a commitment to the pipeline industry we have maintained for over 40 years.

Our researchers have been instrumental in the continuous development of thermomechanical rolling techniques, steel chemistry developments and steel coating technology which has resulted in many unique steel products.

In addition to steel development and research, our technical service team is available to assist with the selection of the most appropriate steel grade to meet welding, forming and strength requirements of any pipeline project. Some of these metallurgical/technical services include:

  • engineering advice
  • welding advice
  • NATA approved testing services
  • metallographic services
  • non-destructive testing services
  • grade development.

BlueScope Steel will closely monitor the steel for your project throughout its production process. Being in close proximity to Australia's linepipe manufacturers, we can support flexible supply arrangements for short lead times and have the ability to modify our production schedules to accommodate any unexpected changes in pipeline design or construction program.

BlueScope Steel's sales and technical teams have over one million tonnes of Australian high pressure pipeline steel experience.

Our Quality Management System is certified to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 for the production of strip products, which helps ensure through-coil and coil to coil consistency.
