St. Louis-based MC Industrial Inc., which has an office in Portage, has wrapped up the $10 million project to install a 1,700-ton stacker reclaimer, which began in September 2015.
Germany-based manufacturer FAM supplied the bulk material machine to ArcelorMittal, which replaces a previous machine that had collapsed, according to MC Industrial. The installation was performed on an accelerated schedule in an effort to avoid a disruption of iron production at the facility.
"MC Industrial’s technical expertise in Stacker Reclaimers and work history at the ArcelorMittal Burns Harbor site gave our team a solid foundation on this project from the start," said Phil Radin, project director of MC Industrial. "Our team took a turnkey approach with the supplier and owner, communicating directly with FAM and ArcelorMittal throughout each phase of the project to ensure the construction objectives and ArcelorMittal’s overall business objectives were met successfully."
MC Industrial says, in addition to completing the project on schedule, the installation was also successful in terms of safety, scope and cost.
