The total investment of United Metallurgical Company is approximately USD 1.5 billion.Strabag was commissioned in 2008 to build the facility including assembly of the machinery and plant equipment.

With Strabag as general contractor, more than 100 international subcontractors and at times more than 3,000 persons were at work on the project. Based on extremely difficult geotechnical conditions, work was begun with the backfill of some 5 million cubic metres of earth. More than 10,000 piles were driven, and over 200,000 cubic metres of reinforced concrete and 40,000 tonnes of steel were used. The unique high-tech Plate Mill 5000 production facility weighing more than 40,000 tonnes consists, among other things, of an oven, a rolling mill as well as cooling and shearing machines. The sheet steel to be produced will be used, among others, in the construction of various structures such as pipelines, ships and bridges. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
