EAST ALTON, ILL. — Graycor Construction Co. and Helmkamp Construction Co. have topped off the EA2030 structure, marking the culmination of the first stage in the $500 modernization and expansion of Wieland’s facility in East Alton near St. Louis. Wieland is a supplier of copper and copper alloy solutions. The multi-phase project began in June 2024. Design partners include Vestal Corp. and Salas O’Brien. The topping off marks the completion of structural steel for EA2030, the new hot rolling facility. The building will house a hot mill line, milling line, cold rolling mill, high-bay storage with automated material handling and overhead cranes, ultimately replacing the site’s original 100-year-old hot rolling facility. Merrill Steel and the United Iron Workers assisted in achieving the milestone. Work continues on the next phase of the project, which focuses on process and equipment.
