Southern Industrial Contractors (SIC) was proud to support the successful execution
of a major pellet storage and handling expansion for one of the leading steel producers in
North America. This large-scale industrial project involved the construction and installation
of critical infrastructure supporting the storage, handling, and movement of iron oxide pellets
used in steel production. This scope included complex material handling systems,
conveyor support structures, equipment installation, structural steel, mechanical
assemblies, and coordination of work within an active operating facility.

This facility is the United States' largest direct reduced iron (DRI) operation
having achieved record production rates exceeding 7,900 metric tons per day
with an annual production capacity of approximately 2.5 million metric tons
of DRI. Ore arrives in vessels from Brazil, Canada and Sweden,
with each ship carrying up to 100,000 metric tons. Once at the
facility's port, the ore is transferred via a mile-long pipe belt to the
newly constructed ore yard, which can store up to 800,000 metric tons.
