Contrecoeur steel mill upgrade.

Location
Quebec, Canada.

Client
ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada.

Project Description
ArcelorMittal is upgrading its Contrecoeur steel production facilities to maintain its leading position in steel in North America, with a focus on product quality facilitated through modern plants and a reduced environmental footprint.

The company plans to replace the respective reheating furnaces at its Contrecoeur-East wire rod mill and its Contrecoeur-West bar mill.

These new furnaces, which aim to increase the company’s rolling capacity by 100 000 t, will allow for greater productivity, optimal energy use and reduced greenhouse-gas emissions. The work should extend to the first half of 2020.

Simultaneously, ArcelorMittal will replace the dust collector at the Contrecoeur-West steelworks by the end of 2018 to improve its performance and increase health and safety for the benefit of its workers and our communities.

Potential Job Creation
About 1 700 jobs will be supported.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return

Value
The reheating furnaces at its Contrecoeur-East wire rod mill and Contrecoeur-West bar will cost about C$30-million and C$33-million respectively.

The Contrecoeur-West dust collector replacement will cost about $6-million.
