I’ve toured several as I buy plate. Touring Nucor Longview last July when it was 150 fricking degrees inside the mill was pure hell.
Those baws that work in that all summer completely covered up in fire proof clothing have my respect but I’d never want to do it.

I worked for Stupp a couple years during their heyday. They were a pipeline manufacturer; we received steel coils via rail car from us steel/arcelor mittal steel plants. Stupp mills were loud and harsh at moments, couple employees were killed in a span of 2-3 years.
The actual steel plants making the coils are hardcore. Generations of families working years.

Has anyone here ever worked in a steel plant
When I graduated from LSU, I interviewed and was offered a job in a plant that produced rebar from recycled steel. I noticed that it seemed kind of dangerous and asked how their safety record was. They said three employees had died on the job within the past year. I politely declined that job!

I think they dismantled Longview location and moved some of it to the new Brandenburg location. I went to Hertford.

Worked in a few doing electrical work. Nasty dangerous places but always a lot of OT. Worked at US Steel in Gary Indianna one winter that lasted about 75 years...couldn't get back to Georgia quick enough....there never was the allure of yankee cash for this rebel trash....

I’m from NE Ohio, bitch.
Of course I didn’t work in a steel mill. But tons of my high school buddies did.
They’re absolute animals. Most addicted to drugs.

Only after shutdown and about to be demolished. First was steel foundry which made railcar bolsters and side frames for 100 years, in St. Louis. Shutdown early 1980's when less railcars being made. All but brand new overhead cranes sold ACIPCO in Birmingham. EAF went to Venezuela. Interesting part was all the chest Xrays found in the basement of an outbuilding sold them to a silver smelter. Also found in the same building were lists of new employees shipped by boxcars from the Mississippi Delta during WWI.
The other was Bethlehem Steel in Sparrows Point, MD. The complex dwarfed Exxon Baton Rouge in size. I'm not sure home many 100's of thousands of tons of scrap was produced during almost 2 decades of demolition. EVERYTHING was built heavy.

I’ve always had a fascination with shorting out to melt large amounts of scrap steel.
Looks like a giant arc welder.
I was the safety guy at a steel plant in a previous life.

My grandparents moved to Atlanta when we arrested the second time for bootlegging in Anniston and offered a second felony conviction and 10 years or removing himself from Alabama. He swore to the day he died that one of the first jobs he sought in Atlanta was at Atlantic Steel (Atlantic Station now). When he asked the man if they were hiring he was told "not today, but stick around a while and someone will get killed and we will be". He hung around until noon Wednesday and was hired...said he was never sure if someone died or not but that it wasn't out of the question. This would have been in the mid 1940s. I worked in the same mill a little as an apprentice electrician and it was a miserable place to be....anyone who did it for long was a helluva man...

Visited the old Stanley plant in the Dallas area that made the hand tools.
I think they were suppose to build a new plant in Ft Worth.
They had a small furnace.
It’s ok.
The stamp machine is right where you had to go through security to get in. You will know that stamp machine is there.
