Luton airport in only 30 minutes with ArcelorMittal sheet piles
Luton Airport is London’s fourth-largest airport, with 16.5 million passengers per year. From 2021, an automated guided people mover, or light metro, will improve passenger experience and enable travellers to reach London in less than 30 minutes. ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products Sheet Piling supplied sheet piles for the project.
Our sheet piles in the Luton DART project
The Luton DART (Direct Air-Rail Transit) will connect the Luton Airport Parkway railway station to the terminal of London Luton Airport. It will replace the current shuttle bus, relieving the roads in peak times and providing a higher transport capacity.
ArcelorMittal steel sheet piles are being used in the construction of this state-of-the-art £225 million project. The works started in April 2019 and will be completed by summer 2021. The 2.1-km transit link consists of:
- a viaduct
- Gateway Bridge
- DART Parkway and Central Terminal Stations
- a maintenance area
- tunnel and approaches to the airport terminal
The project is full of complex technical challenges, but the main one is to minimise disruption to passengers and to the day-to-day operations of the airport.
ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products Sheet Piling supplied AZ 32-750 sheet piles up to 18.9 m long, produced in our mill in Belval, Luxembourg. The sheet piles were delivered in three phases according to a customised delivery plan developed with the main civil contractor, VolkerFitzpatrick - Kier, to make sure that the sheet piles arrive to the jobsite as the construction advances.
Fast, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly
Thanks to the DART, Luton Airport Parkway railway station will be linked to the airport terminal in under four minutes and passengers will be able to travel between St Pancras station and Luton Airport in just 30 minutes.
Transportation will be operated by a fully-automated double-shuttle, based on the latest system technology and design innovation, capable of operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This cable-driven system is energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
Key dates of the project
- July 2017: planning permission received
- December 2017: contractors appointed
- April 2018: start of works
- December 2018: opening of temporary new drop-off zone
- Autumn 2019: bridge installation
- Autumn 2020: train installation
- Autumn 2021: open for service

New sections, catalogue, and software for the HZ®-M Steel wall system
The HZ®-M Steel wall system, which is an HZ/AZ combined wall system, is one of the most preferred solutions for port structures and other deep excavations. A new section (HZ 630M), a 2020 catalogue, and updated software are now available.
New HZ 630M section of the HZ®-M steel wall system
The new HZ 630M section completes the existing range of the already large HZ®-M series. It was developed mainly for use in very hard driving conditions (installation in compact soils) and for structures with restrictions on the height of the system.
The flange thickness is 24.2 mm and the maximum height of an HZ 630M solution is only 672 mm (including connectors).
This new profile is available from now on and replaces the HZ 680M LT.
2020 HZ®-M Steel wall system catalogue available
The new catalogue has been extended to systems based on the latest HZ®-M king pile range combined with our enhanced AZ®-800 steel sheet pile generation as intermediaries. It provides new technical data needed for design according to Eurocode and includes a revised table for resistance to water pressure.
HZM™-AZ® Stresses software
An updated version of the HZM™-AZ® Stresses software is available.
Stress analysis for the HZM™ / AZ® combined wall system is based on the 'allowable stress design' method. It allows the user to easily select a solution based on bending moments and chosen safety factors on the steel stresses. The user can also prepare a basic material list for a straight retaining wall.
Additional features of the 2019 update include: calculating the wall properties of any combination with an AZ® infill sheet pile ranging from AZ® 12-770 to AZ® 28-700N and the new HZ 630M piles.

ArcelorMittal to expand plate and service offer for offshore energy sector
ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products produces a wide range of steel plates including grades with the most demanding qualities for offshore applications in the energy sector. With the ongoing improvements at ArcelorMittal Gijón, Spain, our offer to the offshore wind and oil gas markets is set to expand with new feasibilities and the development of new grades. ArcelorMittal’s service level to customers and product development cycles will also improve thanks to a closer partnership between ArcelorMittal Projects Energy, ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products, and Global R&D.
ArcelorMittal's goal
ArcelorMittal’s goal is to offer the most comprehensive range of plates for the offshore energy market. The steel plates we produce are typically utilised in the sub-sea and visible parts of offshore wind turbines and in oil and gas platforms.
Plate offer meets global standards
The offshore plate grades produced by ArcelorMittal meet all relevant European (EN10225) and North American (API2W) standards. They are already utilised by leading manufacturers of offshore wind and oil and gas infrastructure. These facilities are operated by major energy producers around the world.
Two of the most common grades used in these segments are S355 M/ML and S355 G10+M in thicknesses ranging from 40 to 70 mm. The ‘M’ in the grade name indicates that the steel has been thermo-mechanically rolled. The process changes the properties of the steel and makes it suitable for use in applications where high strength and excellent toughness at low temperatures are required. That includes a variety of offshore applications such as the topsides of oil and gas platforms, offshore wind substations, and the subsea ‘jackets’ which serve as foundations for offshore structures.
One of the key features of ArcelorMittal’s offshore plate offer is its enhanced weldability. This ensures the steel can be welded without affecting its high strength or excellent toughness.
Investments expanding feasibilities
Investments are ongoing in Gijón to expand ArcelorMittal’s offer for offshore energy. The goal is to produce grades for offshore applications in thicknesses over 50 mm. Improvements have already begun and some of the new feasibilities are expected to become available during 2020.
On the service side, ArcelorMittal has established a working group including representatives from ArcelorMittal Projects, Flat Products, and Global R&D. The group aims to qualify ArcelorMittal’s plate mills with more of the world’s major wind energy and oil and gas producers. Another task for the group will be to gain welding prequalification for our thicker plates in accordance with European (EN10225 and NORSOK M-120) and American (API RP2Z) standards. As the group works closely with customers through co-engineering projects, it also recommends topics for research and development to anticipate future market requirements and meet new customer needs.
Research and development for offshore applications is carried out by the ArcelorMittal Global R&D Centre in Ghent, Belgium. The R&D Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art tools and facilities including a five-wire submerged arc welder, heavy-duty fatigue setups, and unique metal processing equipment. This enables ArcelorMittal to test plates, tubes, and pipes to support new product development. ArcelorMittal Global R&D Ghent also provides technical assistance to ArcelorMittal’s customers through co-engineering projects on topics such as lightweight design, fatigue improvement, and optimisation of welding processes. The research centre is a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and the Flemish Region.
New products in development
A key concern for offshore customers is corrosion. ArcelorMittal Global R&D is constantly developing new products which make offshore structures lighter, and reduce operational costs by improving corrosion resistance. To ensure their suitability for marine applications, these steels typically undergo field trials in harsh, real-world environments.

Even if generally not visible after completion, foundations are a key element of construction as they connect projects to the ground, and in most cases, transfer loads into the ground. The design of these substructures is closely linked with geotechnical engineering in order to determine the most appropriate foundation solution for different construction and soil types.
Due to its high load bearing capacity and durability, steel is commonly used in foundation works of both buildings and civil engineering structures. Depending on their functions and types, foundations can consist of steel structures (e.g. with sheet piles), composite steel and concrete structures, or reinforced concrete.
Foundation structures include:
- Shallow and deep building foundations
- Bridge abutments
- Underground works (basements, underground car parks)
- Ports and harbour constructions
- River control structures and flood defense
- Temporary support for excavation sites
