Fleming is the steel erection partner for 418K square foot project dubbed, “the most sustainable mini-mill in the world.”

FSE is pleased to announce its role as the steel erection partner for Commercial Metals Company’s (CMC) new 418K square-foot “AZ2” mini-mill in Mesa, Arizona. Construction on the project began on September 21, 2021, with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Mesa Mayor John Giles, multiple county and state representatives, executives from CMC, customers, local businesses, and the project’s engineering and construction teams. FSE is partnering with Hatfield Construction to furnish and erect the hybrid structural steel package, crane beams, mezzanines, miscellaneous steel packages, and exterior wall and roof cladding.

The mill, which will produce rebar and merchant bar, is designed for efficiency, with its arc furnaces connected directly to renewable energy resources. Annually, the mill is projected to emit 60% fewer emissions and consume just 20% of the energy used by other comparable steel-making facilities.
