There are many inputs to infrastructure, but it’d be impossible to make the buildings and bridges we use every day without steel. Steel has strength both in tension and compression and is extremely durable. But steel requires metallurgical coal for production, and that is where companies like Allegheny Metallurgical become involved.
Allegheny Metallurgical produces high-quality metallurgical, or met, coal used for steel manufacturing. Located in West Virginia, Allegheny has proven coal reserves through 2048 and produces 3.1 million tons of met coal annually. Utilizing underground longwall mining technology, Allegheny encourages innovative solutions to produce met coal and support the miners, including continuous monitoring, data analytics and predictive maintenance support. Met coal produced in the U.S. supports infrastructure projects here and around the world, and will bolster the buildings and bridges of tomorrow.
