Abstract

The increase of the demand for hot metal made it necessary toanticipate the relining of Rogesa No. 4 blast furnace. At the sametime, the furnace has been enlarged in order to reach a dailycapacity of 6,400 t. The work has been carried out under a consortium of Paul Wurth and SMS Demag with many subcontractingcompanies. The performances on the site have been verysuccessful so that the original schedule could be reduced from 99to 90 days. At maximum there have been more than 600 peopleworking on the site and above al1 without any accident. The totalbudget amounted to 60 M Euro for the furnace itself and to 20 M Euro forthe slag granulation system.
