What is a Turnkey Project?
A turnkey project is a comprehensive approach where a single company, like us, Shanghai Metallurgy Equipment Group (SME Group), takes responsibility for the entire project, from initial planning and design to final installation and commissioning. This includes all necessary engineering, procurement of equipment, construction, and start-up services. The term "turnkey" implies that the project is delivered to the client ready for operation, with the client only needing to "turn the key" to start production.
Why choose EPC in Steel and Iron Production?
EPC services streamline the project delivery process by consolidating the expertise required to design, source, and build a facility under one contract. This approach minimizes risks, reduces timelines, and ensures a seamless integration of all project components. Here's how Shanghai Metallurgy Equipment Group leverages EPC for iron and steel plant projects:
Engineering
Our engineering services encompass the detailed design of all facilities, including ironmaking and steelmaking processes, rolling mills, and auxiliary systems. We use cutting-edge technology and simulation tools to optimize plant performance and ensure that the design meets the client's production goals and environmental standards.

Our Turnkey / EPC Solutions in Detail
Ironmaking - specialized in small to medium size
Blast Furnace: The blast furnace is the core unit in the ironmaking process, capable of converting fine iron ore and fluxes into crude iron, also known as pig iron. Shanghai Metallurgy Equipment Group, SME Group, specializes in medium and small blast furnaces that have urgent demands in certain areas and countries.
Direct Reduction Iron (DRI): Setting up DRI plants with lower initial capital investment and operating costs. SME Group has its own professional engineers with rich experiences in DRI plant design and project management to make it even more cost-effective.
Steelmaking - melting, refining and casting
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF): EAF is much more flexible than Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) and allows steel to be made totally from scrap metal. Furthermore, it is an environment-friendly solution with significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions than BF + BOF.
Induction Furnace: Offering highly energy-efficient melting solutions for various metals and production capacity requirements. Shanghai Metallurgy Equipment Group, SME Group provides the whole solution of IF shop ensuring consistent quality and properties of the molten steel with low emissions and pollutants.
IF+LOD+LRF: Our cutting-edge methodology integrates induction furnaces with the innovative LOD furnace, offering a cost-effective and resource-efficient alternative to the traditional EAF+LF setup. This synergy enables the induction furnace to process a diverse array of scrap materials and produce a spectrum of steel grades, including high-quality alloy structural steel, high-grade carbon steel, and low-carbon steel. The result is a production efficiency that rivals the combined Electronic Arc Furnace (EAF) and Ladle Furnace (LF) operations.
Billet Casters: SME's Continuous Casting Machine (CCM) streamlines billet production, enhancing metal yield and the rate of finished products. It offers significant advantages, such as reduced energy consumption, superior billet quality, and a high degree of automation and mechanization. Additionally, CCM substantially decreases labor intensity and improves working conditions, making it a highly efficient and worker-friendly solution for steel production.
Rolling Mill Plant
Rebar Mill: Designing complete rebar rolling mills tailored to the construction industry. Our project team strictly controls quality at every process to ensure that our mills deliver high-volume output and operate with consistent efficiency.
Wire Rod Mill: Constructing high-speed wire rod mills for wire and mesh production. SME Group has many successful cases on rolling mill projects for rebars, wire rods, sheets, tubes, strips, etc. SME provides a one-stop service to install the wire rod line of annual output of 50,000 tons to 700,000 tons, the diameter of final wire rods is Ø5.5mm to Ø16mm.
