Canadian company plans to expand new steel plant near Great Falls

The steel plant north of Great Falls, which went into operation at the end of January 2014, is working to develop the ability to tow modules built for oil fields and other projects in the region and Canada.

A few days ago, the grand opening of a new production building of the plant, worth 26 million dollars, took place. Dan Rooney, Director of ADF International, said that “The plant will add a second shift in the next few months. The company is also building a paint shop. "

Rooney said the company is finalizing a plan with state and federal transportation officials to complete a high and wide transportation corridor, raising 13 utilities between Great Falls and Fort Benton this summer. The rest of the route in northern Canada is already complete, which means that some of the larger modules can be moved along a short route in Canada without crossing the mountains of Idaho and western Montana. "

The company is optimistic about the improvement in the US economy, which could mean the emergence of new construction projects, as well as favorable prospects for the development of oil fields in Canada and the region.

Great Falls is one of ADF's most advanced steel fabrication factories. The plant is strategically located close to major oil, gas and construction projects in the western United States and Canada. The enterprise receives a lot of public support, as well as assistance from the local government.
