CMC Steel has completed two major power and automation upgrade projects at its Sayreville, New Jersey facility, as part of a broader modernization program executed by AIC.
The first project involved a full revamp of the bar rolling mill’s drive and automation systems, including the installation of 18 new drive panels and associated auxiliary systems. The upgrade also covered control desks, HMI and engineering stations, safety systems, sensors and a new rolling mill control system.
The second project focused on upgrading PLC and control systems for the ladle furnace, including new control cabinets and HMI systems aligned with plant requirements.
Both projects were carried out during scheduled outages and included installation, commissioning and post-startup support.
The upgrades are expected to improve operational reliability, enhance safety and support more efficient production at the facility.
CMC was founded in 1915 in Texas and is a major manufacturer of rebar and structural products, with an annual production capacity of over 5 mln tons of finished long steel products.
