Slab Caster Plant Colour:Black molten sparks cascading in everyRusting beams and abandoned control panels fill the Slab Caster Plant at Port Kembla Steelworks, the machinery that replaced open hearth steelmaking standing idle in a space built for continuous production. Continuous slab casting was first commissioned at Port Kembla in 1978, part of a shift away from ingot casting that would transform the entire steelmaking process. Part of the BlueScope Port Kembla series.
