ArcelorMittal WireSolutions is to supply
around 21,500 tonnes of steel fibers for use
in three lines of Qatar’s new Doha Metro.
This will be WireSolutions’ first delivery of
steel fibers to the Middle East, and the
company’s largest ever delivery of steel
fiber.
The Doha Metro, currently under
construction in Qatar’s capital city, is on
track to start operating in late 2019 with
98 stations on four lines, an approximate
overall length of 300km.
Use of the premium quality steel fibers
results in overall cost savings by reducing
the amount of concrete and steel required.
London Crossrail was ArcelorMittal
WireSolutions’ first infrastructure contract
for steel fibers in the UK market, where they
are being used as the sole reinforcement
in the production of tunnel segments.
Between 2011 and 2013, ArcelorMittal
WireSolutions signed three contracts to
supply a total of 12,000 tonnes of steel
fibers to London Crossrail.
“These are two excellent examples of our
leading position in the steel fiber business.
With this success, we have strengthened
our team of tunnelling specialists in the
company,” said José Ramón González,
ArcelorMittal’s steel fiber manager.
