IPSCO to invest $45 million in plate and pipe upgrades
As part of its planned capital expenditures for 2006, the IPSCO has approved the expenditure of $17.7 million for the installation of a vacuum degasser at its steelworks in Montpelier, Iowa, to provide a more sophisticated and extensive range of steel products. In a second planned investment for 2006, the company has also approved an expenditure of $27.5 million on a coil preparation facility and other related enhancements to its large diameter spiral pipe mill operations located in Regina, Saskatchewan. The new prepping area and equipment modifications will improve yield and productivity, as well as increase capacity in excess of 25 percent from these mills. Upon completion of the project, IPSCO’s annual large diameter capacity may exceed 375,000 tons.
