Case Study: POSCO accelerates lithium plant construction with Victaulic

POSCO speeds lithium plant installation 5x with Victaulic

POSCO, a South Korean steel-making giant, faced significant challenges constructing a lithium plant in Argentina, including extreme weather and a high-altitude location that reduced labor productivity. To expedite construction, POSCO selected Victaulic to provide its grooved pipe joining method for a range of pipe materials and sizes.

Victaulic provided a solution that required only semi-skilled labor and included specialized couplings for different systems, which significantly sped up installation. The vendor also provided comprehensive on-site training to ensure quality. Victaulic's solutions are enabling the project to achieve installation five times faster and reduce construction costs by over 30%, keeping it on schedule for completion.
