  THE CHALLENGE

British Steel’s Skinningrove site supports British Steel, TC Industries and Caterpillar. Utilities are distributed through shared site infrastructure, production areas and company-specific supplies, making clear allocation and visibility essential. They required installation of monitoring across key electricity, gas and water points to create a more structured view of consumption across the site.



 SOLUTION


Optimal Monitoring installed a multi-utility monitoring system across electricity, gas and water supplies, giving British Steel and the other organisations on site a stronger foundation for utility visibility.


The installation provided detailed gas monitoring, while the survey identified remaining electricity and water gaps, including incompatible meters and high-load production assets requiring further sub-metering.


The proposed next phase focuses on the largest drives, pumps, motors and compressors, with the aim of bringing 90%+ of electricity use into view: supporting better energy management, cost allocation and investment decisions.

Requirements
Connect the existing estate
Bring key electricity, gas and water supplies into one monitoring structure.

Separate site areas
Track offices, workshops, substations, furnaces and company-specific supplies.

Identify the largest gaps
Survey high-load electrical systems for the next phase of sub-metering.

Coverage gaps identified

✓

 

Office electricity meter requires replacement before data can be captured.

✓

TC Industries water meter also requires replacement for compatibility.
