World Trade Center Memorial in New York to be built with ArcelorMittal steel
A landmark delivery of 580 tonnes of steel milled in the ArcelorMittal Differdange site in Luxembourg arrived at the Port of Savannah, in the US, last week, after a 7,676 km journey. The jumbo beams will be used in the construction of the World Trade Center Memorial in New York.
This new delivery covers a fourth of the ArcelorMittal jumbo beams needed for the project. The steel was rolled at ArcelorMittal Differdange and shipped to the United States to be turned into the steel columns that will support the entire project.
New York City Mayor and WTC Memorial Foundation Chairman Michael R Bloomberg commented: “The steel symbolises our resilience and resolve to rebuild the World Trade Center.”
Only two steel mills in the world produce sections that fit both the jumbo beam size requirements and US specifications, and the Differdange site is one of them.
