Our company just completed installing a huge allotment of equipment at
the first greenfield mill start up built in along time
there is a video of it at
http://www.youtube.com/severcorr
we build the ducting that removes the fumes from the furnace, the roof,
referred to as the "lid" in the video, the fixed elbow on the roof and
the sidewall that contains all of the scrap as they melt it down into
the hearth.
Great beast of a thing when it fires off at 1400 volts, 160Mva DC
enjoy

during the initial construction it was over 6000 workers, our
contracting division had 2500 people on site for over a year.
Currently the plant is operating with 320 people, this will increase to
@750 when they ramp up the second caster and furnace.
The safety record of these minimills is outstanding. they are really on
the ball safety wise several of the Nucor Steel mills have gone over 2
years without an injury

So, instead of sending the profits to Japan, we send them to Russia. I
have to wonder why no American steel company is willing to build such
a modern plant?

Paul,
Nucor has built 12 in the last 30 years, the average life of a steel
mill is 50 years. ( and they are currently building 2)
Severcorr is an American company and Severstall , a partner in the
company has as many facilities in this hemisphere as its own. Not to
mention that every dollar for the company ( 1.5 B ) was raised
domestically, Severstall provides financial backing to the company
it is essentially the cream of the Nucor crop start up
You do know who Nucor is right? The company who revolutionized steel
making and revived steel making in this country ?
dont know where your "Japan" reference comes from, with the exception of
high quality Rail, over 80 percent of steel used in North America comes
for North or South America. The steel dumping done by China and Japan
are a thing of the past, Japan was dumping automotive grade steels which
are now produced cheaper here, and China was dumping structurals and
plate of which they are a net importer now.
Dont listen to the media and the unions, the truth is out there if your
willing to look for it
