Italy-based plantmaker Danieli has announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with GFG Alliance, the parent company of the international industrial and metals group Liberty House, for the design and construction of a new high-tech rail and section mill at the Whyalla Steelworks.
According to Danieli, the new mill with 750,000 mt capacity per year will be an environmentally friendly facility that will increase production, reduce waste and enable GFG’s Liberty Primary Steel to lift product capability and improve its competitive advantage.
The project will be executed in two phases. The first phase will require Danieli to work in combination with AAR TEE Ferretti International for turnkey construction and auxiliaries, and with the Liberty team to develop the engineering stage.
The second phase will consist of equipment design, manufacturing, supplying and commissioning.
