Project implementation in record time: Siemens starts up bar mill of Handan Iron & Steel

In January 2011, Siemens started up a bar mill at the Chinese steelmaker Handan Iron & Steel Co. Engineering, manufacturing and delivery were completed in less than six months and the first bar was rolled after an additional period of only six months. This was made possible by the fully standardized design, the optimized manufacturing chain, and the systematic activities of Siemens project management, allowing rapid project execution as well as plug-and-produce system startup. The rolling mill is designed to produce an approximate annual 800,000 tons of special-bar-quality (SBQ) steels and expands the production capacity and product range of Handan Iron & Steel, replacing the outdated production equipment with a new high-end productivity line.
