Print this page

Algeria: China’s CBMI has signed a contract with ASEC Cement to build a 4500t/day clinker production line at ASEC Cement’s Djelfa plant. The unit was originally partially built by ASEC Egypt in 2008 and had completed 90% of civil work before it was suspended due to the financial crash. Local company ETRHB Haddad and the Algerian subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) took control of ASEC Cement in 2017 allowing the Djelfa project to continue.

The engineering, procurement and construction contract covers limestone crushing to cement packaging and delivery. It includes engineering, equipment and steel structure procurement, civil construction, erection, training and commissioning. Construction is scheduled to take 19 months from the contract’s activation date. As such the plant could be operational by the end of 2019.
