The erection of the tower took just 296 days to complete, which is the fastest timeframe ever for a Midrex facility. The completion of the tower involved 11 separate lifts using a Liebherr LR-13000 crawler crane, one of the largest construction cranes in service throughout North America with a 3,000 ton lifting capacity. The crane will be disassembled during the month of October.

Lourenco Goncalves, Cliffs’ Chairman President, and CEO said: “I want to publicly thank the HBI construction team for their efforts in the completion of this crucial milestone ahead of our original schedule. I am proud that this portion of the project was accomplished in record time, and also completed with an industry-best environmental and safety record with 1.7 million man hours. Thanks to this hard work, we remain ahead of schedule with a commercial production start date in the first half of 2020.”
