Tenaris reactivated its plant in Baytown, Texas, bringing additional heat-treatment and threading capacity to its U.S. network to support the company’s increased domestic production. Tenaris started to prepare the mill for the restart in March by installing new equipment, performing commissioning work, testing systems and processes, and hiring and training new employees. The plant will be heat treating and finishing production from Tenaris’ Bay City, Texas, seamless mill, which is nearing full capacity. According to Tenaris, demand for OCTG has been rising amid an improving market.
Tenaris will restart select areas of its mill in Conroe, Texas, following a three-year suspension of operations. At this stage, the mill will support the company’s ramp-up of seamless activity in the U.S. with the heat treatment and finishing of pipe products. At Conroe, Tenaris pipe products will be heat treated and then finished, which includes threading, inspecting, testing, stenciling and prepping the pipe before being dispatched.
Tenaris unveiled its $1.8 billion state-of-the-art seamless pipe mill in Bay City, Texas. The 1.2 million square-foot mill, which has the capacity to produce 600,000 tons of OCTG annually, incorporates a high level of automation and cutting-edge technologies into its production processes. The project, which was first announced in 2013, has generated more than 600 jobs and more than 1,500 during the construction phase.
