INDUSTRIAL PROJECT SHOWCASE

Installation of the Hot Dip Galvanizer at National Steel, Great Lakes Division

In February of 2000 Triangle Electric began work for the NKK of Japan, parent company to National Steel, Great Lakes Division in Ecorse, Michigan. Triangle's talented workforce installed the electrical portion of a new hot dip galvanizing line.

This line takes the rolled coil of steel, unrolls them and heats them so the coating will adhere. The line then "dips" the steel into a tank of hot zinc to rust proof the steel and then rewinds the coils. The furnace designed by NKK is the largest ever produced and peaks at temperatures of approximately 1800 degrees.

Time was of the essence as Triangle was given an accelerated seven day a week schedule to complete the job by mid-April of 2000, over two months time. Triangle utilized more than 200 employees in two weeks. Over 10,000 feet of cable tray was installed in excess of 100 miles of cable was pulled. Three hundred spark plugs were installed in the furnace, which is over 10 stories high. Power and lighting were installed in several pulpits which house the monitoring systems for control of the line.
