Coke ovens whyalla

Picture: John Murray. You have a chance to see these and many more sights at the GFG Alliance Whyalla Steelworks during a special twilight tour this Wednesday. GFG Alliance Media and Communications Manager, Sean Kelly said the twilight tours will be an extra special sight with the chance to see molten iron and red hot coke in a spectacular evening-hours display.

The twilight tour will take you to Hummock Hill to see the steelworks lit up in the evening. At the site you will pass 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. As a fully operational site, we can't guarantee that all processes will be happening during the tour but there will be plenty to see. 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.
