1982 Redpath Dorman Long was sold to Trafalgar House for £10 million - British Steel's chairman Ian MacGregor wanted to concentrate the corporation's activities purely on iron and steel making[1] and eventually Redpath Dorman Long was merged with Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co.

- Cleveland Redpath Engineering, including structural steelworks unit at Darlington
