Showa Denko
10 storey process building addition for the production of graphite conductor rods used in the production of steel. These rods from the arc in the steel kettle that melts the scrap into a molten form. The building is located in a high seismic area and Dave Steel Company assisted the engineer in implementing buckling-restrained braces (BRB) in the structure, reducing material weight and costs.
- 2500 tons of structural steel- supplied only.
- Painted, SP6 + 2 costs of high performance paint.
- Stairs and handrails.
Dave Steel supplied 2,500 tons of structural steel for Showa Denko process building addition, supporting the production of graphite conductor rods essential for steel manufacturing. Our scope included stairs, handrails, and steel components finished with SP6 surface prep and two coats of high-performance paint for durability. Given the project’s location in a high seismic area, we collaborated with the engineer to implement buckling-restrained braces (BRB), enhancing structural resilience while reducing material weight and overall costs.
