US-based steel producer
Nucor Corporation has announced that
Nucor-Yamato Steel Company, a joint venture between
Nucor and Japan's Yamato Kogyo Co., has approved a $115 million plan to expand
production of hot rolled sheet piling.
The project will be completed at
Nucor's steel mill in Blytheville, Arkansas, and is expected to be completed in early 2014. The project will add several new sheet piling sections, increasing the single sheet widths by 22 percent and providing a lighter stronger sheet covering more area at a lower installed cost.
The new sections will provide the broadest range of American-made piling solutions currently available to the company's piling distributor customers.
