Altech Chemicals Limited has announced the completion of the remaining Stage-2 construction work at its high purity alumina (HPA) plant site in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
Construction activities at the site started anew in early June 2020, following the ease of restrictions imposed by the Malaysian Government on March 18 to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.
The Stage-2 construction work involved completion of the site’s electrical substation consisted of internal fit-out, drainage, sewage, and landscaping. These works are now finished, marking the completion of all works included in the Stage 2 construction scope by the appointed EPC contractor Metix (a wholly-owned subsidiary of SMS group, Germany).
Altech received a formal handover inspection of the substation towards the end of June. A small number of identified punch list items were rectified by June 30, 2020.
Now, with the completion of the site’s electrical substation construction, Altech will proceed to make the substation available to the local electricity service provider TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) for the installation of switchgear and incorporation of substation into a local electrical grid.
