Steelworks are mainly supplied with heavy materials (ore, coal, coke, limestone, slagging agents, etc.) and scrap.
1.1 Weighted material fleets
Transported mainly by sea, waterway and rail, heavy materials are unloaded, stored in piles and then picked up by shovel-wheelers. In windy regions (such as the seaside), these operations, and especially storage, generate a lot of dust.
