The optimization and upgrading project of TISCO’s (Shanxi Taigang) stainless steel hot-rolled strip production line reached a critical milestone on February 27 with the successful concrete pouring of the roof slab for the scale flushing trench in the Rough Rolling R2 area. Throughout the recent holiday period, over 100 builders remained on-site to maintain momentum, completing the installation of steel columns for the reheating furnace and main rolling line using four large crawler cranes. Additionally, the completion of the rough rolling electrical room's roof slab and the excavation of external cable tunnels have established favorable conditions for the upcoming post-holiday installation of mill housings and electrical systems, signaling steady progress in TISCO's capacity modernization.
