Outokumpu Long Products has won a contract to supply more than 2,500 metric tons of stainless steel rebar to the Rodanthe Bridge project in North Carolina, USA. Deliveries will be started in Q2 2018 and continue through 2020.
The contract is with Harris Rebar to supply domestic fabricated stainless steel rebar in grade XM-28 in sizes #4 through #9. This is the biggest order of domestic made rebar for Outokumpu in the US so far.
This 2.4-mile bridge will ensure safe and reliable passage for travellers, as well as providing better traffic flows among Outer Banks communities, beaches, and protected areas. The bridge is planned to become operational in 2020.
Head of Outokumpu Stainless Bar, Bob Beatty says: The order is very significant for theRichburg unit. We are excited to have been awarded this project and we are fully committed in working closely with Harris Rebar to ensure that we meet the quality, time and delivery requirements set by Department of Transportation in North Carolina. Stainless steel is the ideal material for infrastructure projects such as the Rodanthe Bridge due to its high corrosion resistance and low life-cycle costs.
