High Tech Company
Tony Teeter, Manager of Engineering & Special Projects
John Brandon, Manager of Technical Business Development
“High Tech Company” means a manufacturing company that depends on knowledge from almost all engineering disciplines. From ore in the ground to direct reduced iron, long products, special bar quality product, high strength steel or fabricated joists, the process of making steel and steel products requires knowledge of metallurgy, melting, casting (solidification), rolling (shaping), heat treating and fabrication.
But before the first heat of steel is tapped, Geotechnical, Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Electrical Engineers and Construction and Project Management are responsible for building our manufacturing facilities.
Once a plant is constructed it is turned over to operations. Operations rely on Safety Engineers to provide guidelines to keep our employees safe; Chemical Engineers for water treatment; Environmental Engineers for fume control; Mechanical Engineers for maintenance and upgrades to equipment; Electrical Engineers for high, medium, and low voltage power distribution; and Controls Engineers to maintain the high speed control systems and materials testing to prove that our product meets or exceeds customer's expectations.
Nucor's production facilities utilize the most advanced technological tools available to the industry. From Neural networks for analysis of complex metallurgical relationships, to profile laser gauges for confirmation of the most demanding dimensional tolerances, to predictive software models that control each critical step in our manufacturing process, Nucor leads the way in adapting these state of the art technologies to the production of steel.
Our teammates utilize highly developed plant wide computer networks each and every day. Starting with raw materials through to the finished products, our steel will go through the most advanced quality , tracking, and scheduling software platforms, analytical instruments will have confirmed chemistries, liquid steel may have been treated by magnetic fields, or subjected to vacuum , solidified steel will have had numerous test to confirm surface and internal characteristics.
“Nucor is leading the way with the technology of tomorrow in steel.”
