Wieland, a supplier of copper and copper alloy solutions, has reached a major milestone in the $500 million modernization and expansion of its facility in East Alton, Illinois.
The topping off of the EA2030 structure marks the culmination of the first stage in this transformative plan and represents an ongoing successful collaboration between Wieland. Graycor Construction Company and Helmkamp Construction are the design-build team for the multi-phase project, which began in June 2024, working alongside design partners Vestal Corporation and Salas O’Brien.
The topping off milestone marks the completion of structural steel for EA2030, the new hot rolling facility. The building will house a hot mill line, a milling line, a cold rolling mill, high-bay storage with automated material handling, and overhead cranes, ultimately replacing the site’s original 100-year-old hot rolling facility.
