CVS, Turkey's engineering and plantmaking company for the iron and steel sector, has announced that it has completed the equipment delivery of the meltshop and supervised the erection of the plant of Taybah Steel in Gamasa, Egypt.
According to a statement CVS made to SteelOrbis, the meltshop, which will have the capacity to produce 450,000 mt of steel billets per year, will be commissioned through the end of this year once electricity is connected to the plant. CVS said that the electricity supply authority of Egypt has granted the license to Taybah Steel and that electricity would be provided by October this year.
As SteelOrbis previously reported, according to a contract signed between CVS and Taybah Steel, CVS has supplied an electric arc furnace (EAF), a material feeding system, a ladle furnace, a four-line continuous billet caster, a dust collecting system and a meltshop for the Egypt-based company. CVS completed the installation of other equipment late last year.
