Client:
SteelTech Industries
Location:
Birmingham, United Kingdom
Industry:
Steel Manufacturing
Description
SteelTech Industries approached CoreFlow EPC to expand their existing electric arc furnace capacity to meet growing demand for high-quality steel products. The project involved designing and constructing a state-of-the-art 150-ton EAF facility with advanced automation systems.
Key Challenges:
- Limited space for expansion within existing facility
- Maintaining production during construction
- Meeting strict environmental regulations
- Integrating with legacy systems
Solution Delivered:
- Modular design approach to minimize downtime
- Advanced dust collection and emission control systems
- Automated charging system with robotic material handling
- Energy recovery systems reducing operating costs by 25%
Results: The project was completed on schedule and 5% under budget, increasing production capacity by 60% while reducing energy consumption per ton of steel by 30%.
