"DK Green Bar" is a special rebar from Dongkuk Steel Mill that connects coil, seismic, and cryogenic rebar, reinforced with fiberglass and polymer resin. It is lighter than conventional rebar but has high strength. It is characterized by being corrosion-resistant, non-conductive, and low in carbon emissions. It will be used in road, bridge, and railway construction projects. The "D-Mega Beam," which connects steel plates in a structural shape, features customized responses without size limitations.

Through the "D-Mega Beam," Dongkuk Steel Mill can produce sizes ranging from a minimum of 150㎜X300㎜ to a maximum of 3000㎜X1250㎜ based on H-beam standards. It is the first in the country to enable unit production of "super-large sizes," hence the name "Mega." A representative from Dongkuk Steel Mill noted, "As the capacity to respond to large construction projects increases, revenue improvement will be possible."
