New ladle tilting stand: An act of strength in a confined space

Construction of the new ladle tilting stand, an important part of the TransMet investment program, work from capital investment program of greentec steel, presented the project team with challenging technical challenges and time constraints. The ladle tilting stand was built at a new location to make room for the new electric-arc furnace (EAF). Time and precision were crucial. Find out how the dedicated team successfully implemented this complex project.
