Morgan Construction Co. has earned a contract from Cascade Steel Rolling Mills of McMinnville to upgrade the mini mill’s single strand rod outlet with the installation of high speed pinch roll and laying head assemblies. The installation will begin in August.

Mr Neil Gow, sales manager of Morgan's Rolling Mill division, explained that a key to Morgan’s selection for the project is its ability to supply Cascade “with superior and proven technology, specifically Morgan’s successful laying head with 120 m/s capability for 5.5 mm wire rod.” The product range that will be produced using this new equipment will be wire rod in sizes 5.5 mm to 20 mm and rebar in sizes No 3 through No6.

Morgan supplied a reform tub assembly to Cascade, with ring distributor and coil plate in 2002.
