Emirates Aluminium (EMAL) has marked a major milestone in the construction of its $4.6bn Phase II smelter expansion at Taweelah, pouring the concrete for the first potroom in what will be the world’s longest potline when complete.
The pouring, which was carried out by contractors Al Futtaim Carillion and SNC Lavalin in the presence of EMAL’s president and CEO, Saeed Fadhel Al Mazrooei, sets Phase II on track to its 2014 completion date.
“This important milestone has been completed on schedule and on budget, and demonstrates the hard work and strong capabilities of EMAL and its partners in executing a major expansion with all its attendant challenges,” said Yousuf Bastaki, EMAL’s vice president of projects.
