Mott MacDonald wins Dubal contract
01 August 2002
Dubai Aluminium Company (Dubal) has named Mott MacDonald as the engineer for the planned upgrade at its smelter complex in Jebel Ali.
The aim of the project, named Kestrel, is to replace the older reduction plant and increase aluminium production by 174,000 tonnes per year to 710,000 tonnes.
This latest refurbishment and expansion programme involves refurbishing and extending three existing potlines and adding a further 350 MW combined cycle power generation block to the existing power facilities, bringing total generation capacity to over 1,700 MW. In addition, the 132/33/11 kV distribution system will be enhanced and 14 new rectifier transformer units installed.
As engineer for all works associated with the power facilities, Mott MacDonald will develop design concepts, produce technical specifications, evaluate tenders and audit designs. The consultant will also carry out detailed design of all civil works, supervise construction and commissioning of the power facilities and project manage the whole programme, which is expected to be completed in early 2006.
Mott MacDonald, which was also the engineer for three previous expansion projects at Dubal, has also been appointed engineering and construction manager for the power elements of a major expansion project at Bahrain's Alba.
