Our Production Facilities

We have established our operating facilities utilising the best international technology in order to ensure efficient and high-quality production. Qatar Steel’s site consists of several operational plants working together in synchronisation to produce a constant stream of high-quality steel products. These operational plants comprise:

• Direct Reduction (DR) plants (DR1 and DR2)
• Steelmaking plant, which includes:

  Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs) and Ladle Furnaces (LFs), as follows: EAF1, EAF2, EAF3 with LF3, EAF4 with LF4, and EAF5 with LF5

  Continuous Casting (CC) plants (CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, and CC5)

• Rolling Mill (RM) plants (RM1, RM2)
• Calcined Limestone Plant (KILN1, KILN2, and Limestone Pulverising Plant)

In 2014, Qatar Steel began steel production in its fifth Electric Arc Furnace (EAF5) with a production capacity of 1.04 million tons per annum. Subsequently, the EAF1&2 cilities were mothballed by the end of 2014, as per the Business Plan 2014–2018 and in consideration of the prevailing market conditions.
