Belgium Steel Mill HFB (visited in January 2019)

[ForgottenBuildings]

History:

A blast furnace is an installation that makes steel from iron ore and coke, this happens at a temperature of around 2400 degrees Celsius. When there is quick liquid in the oven, one is drilled open and the steel flows out Steel production and further activities in this area stopped in 2011. Which brings an end to the more than 200-year-old steel production in Liège

It's an incredible place. Did you find the power station?

Yeah the power station looked cool, we went up the blast furnace, wish we'd checked it out but we already watched a few people getting busted from up there. Good to see it's still on my potential revisit list haha
