SMU Interview with Big River Steel
Written by John Packard
Big River Steel will break ground on the new 1.6 million ton flat rolled mill some time later this month, according to their Chief Commercial Officer, Mark Bula.
Construction of the new flat rolled electric arc furnace mini-mill was delayed for about a year as Big River Steel (BRS) had to wait until all air quality challenges launched by another steel mill located close to the BRS construction site were addressed and dismissed. The challenges to the mill were recently exhausted, the financing is in place and work will soon begin on the newest steel mill in the United States.
