Former Ilva site: work to shut down the blast furnaces has begun and is due to be completed this week

(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - Work began this morning to shut down the blast furnaces at the former Ilva site in Taranto. This was announced by Fim, Fiom, Uilm and Usb, who received a notice from the company.

The company “Liz Italia” is in the process of shutting down the burners used to keep the Cowpers at Afo preheated, and this work is due to be completed by the end of this week.

As regards the rolling mill area, the TNA is scheduled to resume operations until 14 December, before being shut down again. It will then restart in January and remain in operation for around a month.
