Drawing wires for prestressing concrete - Wires made from high-strength steel are drawn to desired diameters for use in prestressed concrete. The wires help reinforce and strengthen concrete.

Drawing wire rod for nails, screws and fasteners - Wire drawing helps make steel wire rod for fastener production. The drawn wire is cut and cold headed into nails, screws, bolts and other threaded fasteners.

Drawing wire for gabions and wire mesh - Heavier gauge wire is drawn for weaving into mesh used in gabions (baskets filled with rock for retaining walls). Wire mesh is also used for fencing and screening.

Drawing steel cable for suspension bridges - Large wire drawing machines are used to make the steel cables used in suspending bridges. The cables are bundles of smaller wires drawn to precise diameters.

Drawing steel fiber for concrete reinforcement - Steel wire is drawn, cut and bundled into fibrillated strands that act as fiber reinforcement for concrete and mortars.

Drawing stainless steel wire for high-strength structures - Stainless steel wire is drawn for specialized applications like reinforcing bridges and other high-strength structures.
