Ukrainian pipe producer Interpipe Corporation (Interpipe) will postpone the commissioning of its new electric steelmaking plant from August 2011 to late 2011 due to delays in equipment supplies.
As per report, the construction of the plant, which will be capable of producing 1.32 million tons of round billets and blooms per annum, started in 2007, with all necessary equipment being supplied by Italian plant making company Danieli.
The site of the new $610 million electric steel plant is within the grounds of the company’s largest existing mill in Dniepropetrovsk, the Niznedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant and has been designed to replace NTRP’s obsolete steelmaking capacities and to supply cheap semi-finished steel for all Interpipe-owned pipe and rail producing plants.
