The Special Profiles team at British Steel’s Skinningrove site has secured a contract to supply 768 tonnes of unique top hat profile to the Karowe diamond mine in Botswana – the world’s biggest diamond-producing country. Although the mine is currently operating as an open pit facility, underground operations are scheduled to commence early in 2028 to reach a planned depth of 767 m. To facilitate the underground mining, the production shaft will be fitted with top hat shaft guides. British Steel says it is the only global supplier of the unique top hat shaft guides. It will ship the material in four deliveries.
