The Whyalla Steelworks are a fully-integrated operation, starting with the mining of raw materials and ending with the distribution of finished steel products. Approximately 1. The balance of the steel is then converted to finished products in the Whyalla Rolling Mill. These products service the construction and rail transport industries. Depending on production and maintenance schedules you will get to see different parts of the process operating around the hectare site.
Your tour will take you past the blast furnace, coke ovens, reed beds, steelmaking and casting plant and the rolling mills, where structural steel, rail line and steel railway sleeper sections are made. Owing to safety requirements the tours are conducted along an agreed and authorised route and passengers do not leave the vehicle or enter any of the buildings whilst on the steelworks site. As this is an industrial site which operates 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, at times production schedules, plant shut downs, maintenance issues and road works can impact on the tour and certain operations will not be viewed.
These factors are outside our control. Steelworks site tours are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9. Bookings Essential. Closed in footwear required. Your guide will explain how hematite and magnetite iron ore from the nearby South Middleback Ranges at Iron Duke is transformed into over 90 different grades of steel.
Tours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9. See our privacy policy for more information. SA Eyre Peninsula Whyalla. Whyalla Maritime Museum. Support my local — VOTE.
