Upgradation and Expansion of an existing industrial port of Aluminum Bahrain (ALBA).
Client has inaugurated the Marine Jetty Extension in a ceremony that was held on 30 August 2021. The ceremony marked the successful completion of a master project that aimed to upgrade the existing Marine facility and expand its capacity to meet the Company’s increased production following the commissioning of Reduction Line 6, which boosted Alba’s overall output by more than 50%. As part of this project, the North Jetty at Alba’s Marine was extended by 24 metres to accommodate bigger ships such as 60,000 tonnes Panamax alumina vessels and be able to receive more than 3 million metric tonnes of alumina per annum. Moreover, the Jetty was equipped with a state-of-the-art Dual-Purpose Vacuum Ship-Unloader which will enable the Company to faster discharge its raw materials and gain additional days for routine maintenance work on site. In addition to the upgrades made at the Jetty, a new 50,000-tonne alumina concrete storage silo was built at Alba’s Marine bringing the total alumina storage to 3 silos on-site with a total built-in capacity of 150,000 tonnes. A new Truck Loading Station was added on top of the existing one at the site. The Marine Terminal upgrades were necessary to be on the very top, meet Alba’s additional requirements and support the business operations round-the-clock. The Marine Jetty extension project was constructed over a period of 2.5 years and maintained the highest safety standards by achieving 1.6 million safe working hours without a single loss time injury (LTI).
On the 20th February 2021, Fata has successfully completed the Performance Tests for the project. The new facilities enable ALBA to receive and store the increased quantities of alumina and CPC (calcined petroleum coke). This increase has been necessary to feed the new Line 6, now in full production, which has almost doubled ALBA’s aluminium production capacity. The upgrade of the port facilities performed by Fata on an EPC basis, comprises on-shore as well as off-shore (marine) facilities. With the achievement of this important milestone only the Final Acceptance Certificate to be issued at the end of the Defect Liability Period is still outstanding.
