Steel Mill (AL, USA)

Steel on a roll

Steel is a fascinating raw material. Hot, cold, galvanized, stripped, annealed, pickled - the whole industry speaks it's own language and it is not easy for outsiders to understand the process chain without prior studies.

It is also challenging to build a new steel mill on another continent with different rules and requirements. It was possible within this project from 2007 to gain valuable experiences in how a steel plant operates and how the production process looks like. The main focus was set on value engineering and compliance. Was it a surprise that one kilometer of road costs a different sum of money in Germany and the United States?
