Italy-based plantmaker Danieli has announced that EVRAZ North America, a leading North American producer of engineered steel products for the rail, energy and industrial markets, has ordered a new rolling mill for the production of 100-meter-long premium-quality rails.
According to Daniel, the new rolling mill to be built in Pueblo, Colorado, with a production capacity of 670,000 short tons, will be the most modern rail rolling mill in North America.
The mill’s product range will include flat-bottom rails and thick-web rails up to 88 kilograms per meter for heavy-haul and high-speed railways, and other applications. Rails will be manufactured in lengths up to 100 meters.
