ArcelorMittal Europe – Long Products supplied more than 20,000t of rebars for the construction of seven new underground stations as part of the expansion of Warsaw underground. The second line of the Warsaw underground metro will be inaugurated in the coming weeks.
ArcelorMittal Warszawa, along with Stal Service, the cut and bending company that supplies steel structures for construction projects, which has been collaborating with ArcelorMittal Warszawa since 2008, supplied more than 20,000 rebars from 20mm to 32mm diameter, grade B500SP EPSTAL for the construction of the new stations.

The construction of the central section of the second Warsaw metro line began in September 2010. It is 6.1km long, including 600m of tunnel under the Vistula River and a 500m tunnel connecting the first and second metro line. It has seven stations, located 13m to 23m underground.
“This is another important project in Warsaw using our steel. Our rebars are already present in the Legia soccer stadium and in the Museum of the History of Polish Jews – now they have been used in the construction of the second metro line stations, offering modern transportation solutions that are much needed in a city with so many traffic jams as Warsaw”, highlights Marek Kempa, CEO of ArcelorMittal Warszawa.
