Evraz North America aims to resume steelmaking operations at its mill in Pueblo, Colo., the week of June 21, a company spokesman said.
Rolling operations are likely to restart shortly thereafter, he said.
An explosion at the Pueblo steel mill in late May disrupted production and resulted in eight people being injured, three critically.
Seven of the injured have been treated and released from the hospital. One remains in the burn unit, the spokesman said.
The Pueblo EAF has capacity of 1.1 million tons per year, according to the Association for Iron & Steel Technology’s 2021 Directory of Iron and Steel Plants. That single EAF feeds the rail, seamless pipe, and rod and bar mills at Pueblo.
The Pueblo rail mill has annual capacity of 700,000 tons per year. The bar mill sports capacity of 415,000 tons per year. And the seamless pipe mill has annual capacity of 135,000 tons per year, per the AIST directory.
The seamless pipe mill makes casing, a kind of oil country tubular good (OCTG).
