Udayapur Cement launches upgrade to plant

19 November 2021

Nepal: Udayapur Cement has commenced a US$4.2m upgrade and capacity expansion of its cement plant at Jaljale. The work includes replacing the shell of its 20m rotary kiln by the end of February 2021 and installing a reinforcement suspension preheater system, according to the Kathmandu Post newspaper. It will expand the plant’s capacity by 38% to 0.4Mt/yr from 0.29t/yr. The plant’s current equipment dates to 1988. Company spokesperson Laxman Pokharel said "Since the machines are old, we face frequent problems." He added that this has led to increased costs.

The Nepal government has agreed to loan Udayapur Cement US$34.4m, 80% of the project’s budget.

W&P Zement commissions 18GWh hydroelectric power infrastructure in Wietersdorf

19 November 2021

Austria: W&P Zement says that it has commissioned an expanded 18GWh Wietersdorf hydroelectric power plant chain on the River Görtschitz in Carinthia. The chain consists of two new power plants and an existing one which the company optimised during a Euro12m project begun in October 2019. Together, the plants will supply 25% of the producer’s Wietersdorf cement plant’s electricity needs.

Technical director Florian Salzer said “With six modern Francis turbines, 18GWh of green electricity are generated in three power plants along the Görtschitz.” He added “That roughly corresponds to the supply for 3600 four-person households.”

G4S builds solar-powered perimeter fencing for Hima Cement plant and mines

19 November 2021

Uganda: Security provider G4S has installed solar powered laser security systems for Hima Cement at one of its plants and several mines. The system was commissioned in March 2021 and it uses chargeable solar cells in perimeter security towers. G4S says that the system will improve sustainability and reduce costs compared to conventional alternatives. Where sensors detect a breach, security guards will investigate using electric bikes. The supplier says that the bikes facilitate more covert operations compared to motor vehicles, in addition to having sustainability benefits.

Head of technology Samuel Tebandeke said “We wanted to challenge ourselves to think of a better solution for our customer. We knew that we wanted to introduce electronic perimeter security to enhance the protection for the three mines and the cement plant we protect. Other providers were proposing laying many kilometres of cabling underground to provide power for their electronic perimeter monitoring, but our team decided to investigate a greener solution.”
