Nucor Corp. has announced that its Towers & Structures business unit will build its third utility structures production facility in Brigham City, Utah. The company currently is completing the construction of two utility structures production facilities in Decatur, Ala., and Crawfordsville, Ind. The new $200 million Utah facility, to be located on Nucor's existing Brigham City campus, is expected to create 200 full-time jobs.
"Nucor is well-established in the Western United States, and establishing this new facility in Utah allows us to address the increasing need for utility infrastructure in the area driven by distributed energy initiatives, data center expansions, and rising population," stated Leon Topalian, chair/president/CEO.
The advanced automated production plant in Utah will obtain plate and sheet materials from Nucor steel mills through rail transport to fulfill its raw material requirements.
The three newly established facilities will implement straight-line production methods and will feature hot-dip galvanizing processes. Production is anticipated to commence at the Alabama plant in early 2025 and at the Indiana plant later in the year.
Nucor Towers & Structures expects to begin production at its new Alabama and Indiana facilities in the first and second half of this year, respectively.
