British Steel signs 4-year contract with Belgian railways

British Steel has signed a four-year contract with Belgian railway infrastructure management company Infrabel to supply 40,000 tons of high quality rails in various profiles to support the maintenance and refurbishment of rails throughout the rail network.

British Steel made this announcement shortly after announcing that it had signed a major export deal for West Africa. The company will supply 244,000 steel sleepers to the Guinea Bauxite Company.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin this month. The 100m long rails will be produced at British Steel's plant in Scunthorpe before traveling by rail to Infrabel's welding facility in Belgium.
