Algeria: Orascom Construction has signed a contract to build a 6000t/day greenfield cement plant in Algeria for an unnamed private sector client. The deal is part of a wider set of industrial and infrastructure projects worth US$200m the engineering and construction contractor has announced including infrastructure work for an industrial complex in Algeria and an order to manufacture and supply all structural steel for the West Nile Delta gas development project.
“These new construction contracts build on our substantial track record in Algeria that stretches across a number of sectors including power, water desalination, petrochemicals and cement. We are also pleased to receive a large order to fabricate and supply the steel structure for an important gas development in Egypt, and look forward to further participating in this sector through our construction group and National Steel Fabrication,” said Osama Bishai, CEO of Orascom Construction.
