23. Stories from No. 6 Blast Furnace
Update: 2022-05-02
Description
As we explore and move towards new alternatives in steelmaking, planning is underway for a massive project to reline the currently dormant No. 6 Blast Furnace at our Port Kembla Steelworks in Australia. To celebrate this and acknowledge the hard work of those who came before, we welcomed back to our Port Kembla Steelworks four former employees who contributed to the original launch of the No. 6 Blast Furnace in 1996: Darryle Lathlean, Peter Cross, Ron Buchan and Syd Webb. Reminiscing about their past work and looking to the future, they kindly shared their personal stories in separate interviews with us.
