Equipment for the electric arc furnace continues to arrive and is moved in place with a crane. Read on for an update on activities at the melt shop and beyond.

Over the next few days, workers will continue to build on the furnace. Activities will include the hearth and then the roof where the graphite electrodes enter to begin the heating process.
