According to Danieli, the 380,000-ton mill will produce both straight and spooled rebar, with the ability to operate in an endless production mode. 

The plant will feature a Danieli Digimelter furnace with continuous charging capabilities and a Q-One digital power feeder, ensuring the best power conditions at different frequencies, Danieli said. 

Pacific Steel Group broke ground on the mill last week. 

“(The project) represents a culmination of nearly five years of work and is the first tangible step toward full vertical integration of our reinforcing steel operations. I could not be more proud of the team that we have assembled,” said Pacific Steel Group chief executive officer Eric Benson.
