Recently, in the Sokhna Industrial Park within Egypt's Suez Canal Economic Zone, a steel column weighing dozens of metric tons was precisely positioned and steadily set in place amid scorching heat waves. The first steel column of the 2 million mt hot-rolled coil steelmaking main plant for Egypt's New Peak Steel Project, constructed by Shougang Group Construction's First Metallurgical Construction Branch, was successfully hoisted. This was not only a breakthrough in the project period, but also marked the first complete implementation of Shougang Group Construction's "full-process metallurgical service brand" in North Africa, representing a critical leap for China's steel engineering technology from "domestic export" to "regional empowerment."
