Morris Iron completed restoring 1,067 linear feet of the pier at our 7777 State Road location, so that the existing structure can continue to be operational. Morris Iron was granted funding through RACP grant. This will allow Morris Iron to service 3 barges simultaneously. Shipment by barge significantly reduces truck and rail traffic, and loading barges is inherently safer than loading trucks or railcars. This project will also enhance the safety and stability of the roadways and loading areas of the facility that are used by commercial trucks and equipment. In addition, this project will increase Morris Iron’s capacity to process and recycle more scrap metal, lower carbon emissions, improve public safety, and create more jobs for the Philadelphia area.
