	BMcF wins order for Portugals largest wind farm
	As a primary sub contractor to Vestas Celtic Wind Technologies, BMcF have secured an order to supply all the processed steel plate for 26 steel towers for Enersis in Portugal. The order for 4500 tonnes of plate in qualities EN10025 355ML and J2G3 is being delivered to the Campbeltown, Scotland plant of Vestas over the next 3 months.
	The Towers are supporting the new Vestas V90 turbine, each one capable of generating 3MW of Renewable Energy. The plate is being processed at our Stoke on Trent site and delivered on a JIT to Campbeltown. The plate was primarily manufactured in Corus plants in Scunthorpe and Motherwell, in sizes up to 13m x 3m and thickness up to 38mm. First deliveries are due to leave the Campbeltown docks by the end of November. This is the largest single order that BMcF have undertaken and demonstrates the resources available to tackle a project of this size over such a short period. Picture of V90.

	Brown McFarlane purchase Cole Tubes
	Manufacturing a range of tubes with diameters ranging from 0.5mm to 150mm with tube lengths up to 7m, Cole can manufacture to your exact requirements. Copper, Copper Nickel, Brass, Bronze, Aluminium and its alloys are all available on very short lead times.
	Continuing investment in new heat treatment facilities allow quench treatment of long length high strength aluminium alloys. In house treatment helps achieve tight tolerances. Cole are now able to manufacture tubes in alloy 400 which offers excellent corrosion resistance but retains ductility compared with high chromium alloys. Cole look to rapidly expand their international sales by accessing Brown McFarlane worldwide customer base and sales agents. Further information can be made by e-mailing Managing Director Mark Tur
