Altech Chemicals Geotech Survey at Johor HPA Site nearing completion
Altech Chemicals Limited announces that a geotechnical ground drilling and survey program that commenced in mid-August 2018 at the site of its proposed high purity alumina (HPA) plant in Johor, Malaysia is well advanced and nearing completion.
Highlights of the survey:
- Geotechnical ground survey program well advanced
- Site topography, soil stability and soil analysis required for final design confirmation
- Part of Stage 1 construction works
The detailed geotechnical survey is part of HPA plant Stage 1 construction activities. The works include an assessment of soil types, soil stability and a detailed assessment of site topography; each being required to confirm the HPA final plant's civil engineering design. A full analysis of the site soil profile will be used to confirm the final foundation piling requirements.
The Company's appointed engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor SMS group GmbH (SMS) of Germany is co-ordinating the study and is responsible for the final civil design and engineering work. The geotechnical study work is expected to be completed within 3 to 4 weeks.
Altech Chemical is aiming to become one of the world's leading suppliers of 99.99% High Purity Alumina (HPA) (Al2O3).
