Complex EPC project as part of greenfield plant
This landmark project delivered a sinter plant for Ternium (former ThyssenKrupp CSA) as part of a greenfield steel plant. Featuring state-of-the-art technology, it exemplifies our ability to execute complex EPC projects on schedule despite challenging conditions.
As part of the first greenfield steel plant outside China built in decades, this project commissioned in 2009/10 involved the engineering, supply, and construction of a complete sinter plant for ThyssenKrupp CSA, today Ternium, located in Sepetiba, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The scope included all works except civil foundations. The sinter plant incorporates major advancements, featuring a 456 m² sinter machine with an actual gross capacity of up to 5.7 million tons per year and introducing the groundbreaking „high-intensity mixing“ technology – one of the first in the sintering industry.
Our company was the sole technology provider for the entire steel plant which was awarded with an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract. Considering the delay which was caused by unexpected long piling work due to the extremely difficult soil conditions that required extended piling, the schedule for our scope was maintained and construction was completed as planned.
This project showcased our expertise in delivering large-scale sinter plant solutions within complex greenfield environments, ensuring full operational readiness and seamless integration into a major steel production facility.
