ArcelorMittal Steel Mill

São Francisco do Sul, Brazil

Description

The expansion of the company’s Vega plant—referred to as the Cold Mill Complex (CMC) project— in São Francisco do Sul, approximately 580 kilometers south of São Paulo, entailed the implementation of a new galvanizing and continuous annealing line for steel. This expansion increased the installed capacity from 1.6 million tons to 2.2 million tons per year and introduced the production of coated and cold-rolled flat steel products.

To ensure the below-grade concrete structures were impermeable, OA Engineering prioritized finding a long-term waterproofing solution. The general contractor, M. Roscoe, added PENETRON ADMIX SB, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, to the concrete mix during batching.
