CISDI has won an EPC-based order to build Dazhou Steel in China’s Sichuan Province with a new meltshop.

The meltshop includes plants for steelmaking and continuous casting. Five sections will be designed and constructed.

Basic and detailed designs for the steelmaking area, plus its construction, will be undertaken by CISDI. It is the first area to be created for the meltshop, and the most difficult.

Facilities will include the main workshop building for steelmaking and continuous casting, two vanadium-extracting BOFs, two 100-tonne melting BOFs, one ladle furnace, a scrap yard, a vanadium slag utilisation system and utilities.

Dazhou Steel placed the order with CISDI after learning of its strong reputation for advanced technology, highly-reliable equipment and ultra-competitive production for green and low carbon, intelligent and efficient targets.
