The investment includes the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Hot Strip Mill at the Mon Valley Works Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock, Pennsylvania. The new facility would replace an 87-year-old hot strip mill at the nearby Irvin Plant, which is slated for decommissioning as part of the modernization effort. The new Hot Strip Mill is designed to deliver improved yield, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced product quality, while expanding the range of steel products Mon Valley Works can produce for automotive and other high-value markets.
