CDI TeamJanuary 31, 2013CDI Teams Up With Nucor, Tenova on World's Largest Direct Reduced Iron Facility

CDI is working with Tenova HYL Technologies to assist Nucor Corporation in the development of Nucor's direct reduced iron-making facility in St. James Parish, Louisiana. The $750 million plant on a 4,000-acre site located along the Mississippi River midway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge is the largest of its kind in the world and is expected to produce two and a half million metric tons of direct reduced iron (DRI) annually.

Direct reduction technology utilizes natural gas to convert iron ore pellets into high quality DRI used by Nucor's steel mills, along with recycled scrap, to produce high quality steel products such as sheet, plate and special bar quality steel.

CDI engineers from our engineering centers in Baton Rouge and Tampico, Mexico are providing detailed civil, electrical, mechanical, process and structural engineering, as well as pipe routing and modeling, and stress analysis for the development of the facility's DRI core area. Tenova engineers are providing electrical and mechanical equipment materials in the core area and water plant, as well as all requirements for materials handling.

The construction of the facility is expected to be completed in mid-2013. It's the first phase of a multi-phase plan that may include a second DRI plant, coke plant, blast furnace, pellet plant and steel mill.

"We are delighted to be playing a key role in the design of this important project," said Bob Giorgio, President of CDI's Global Engineering & Technology Solutions business. "Our experienced engineers are working closely with Nucor and Tenova to bring the

project to completion on time, and we look forward to the possibility of working with them again on additional phases of the project."

"Our excellent work on this project is a testament to our engineers and designers in Baton Rouge and Tampico," said Bruce Thomas, General Manager of CDI's Baton Rouge Operations. "Our team led by Project Manager Mike Copeland is delivering an effective solution for Tenova and Nucor by utilizing multi-discipline expertise from both offices. We are proud to be working on the largest direct reduced iron-making facility in the world."
