An engineer who works in a metal factory spoke about the explosion that occurred at the HABAŞ factory in Aliaga, Turkey:
It is an integrated complex. There are other departments here, such as a scrap processing shop and a rolling shop. The explosion happened in a steel production workshop.
While changing the lining in the Keshet furnace, a crane fell. We still don't know the reason. This is a heavy lifting crane operating in the entire area. Apparently, when he fell, everything around him was destroyed. He also damaged the oven. There are gas pipes nearby, and the faucet may have damaged them, leading to the explosion.
A crane throws scrap metal into the furnace for melting. The stove is very heavy and contains fire bricks. These bricks must be maintained and replaced periodically.
