The Oman Aluminium Rolling Company LLC (OARC) has awarded an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract worth $32 million to HLG (operating as Leighton Middle East LLC in the Sultanate of Oman) for a state-of-the-art Coil Coating Plant, which is part of the overall OARC's new rolling facilities that began commercial operations in 2014 and is expected to hit its full 160,000-ton production capacity by 2019.
"The plant project is an important milestone for the Group as it is the first EPC project that HLG has been awarded in Sohar," said HLG's CEO and Managing Director, Jose Antonio Lopez-Monis, "Oman is an important market for HLG and we are grateful to have been selected by Oman Aluminium Rolling Company to build their plant facility. This project award acknowledges that we have the local skills and experience that our clients require delivering a best-in-class project."
The Coil Coating Plant facility is being developed as a downstream unit to OARC's rolling mill, with a capacity of 25,000 tonne per annum. The Coil Coating Plant will be located directly across the road from the existing Rolling Mill Plant in the Sohar Industrial Estate (SEI) on its own plot of approximately 100,000 square metres. The facility will also have a Waste Water Treatment Plant, Natural Gas Reducing Station, Scrap Yard, Solid Waste Yard, Hazardous Waste Area, Pond, Admin Building, Canteen, Change Room, Warehouse, Guard House and other site amenities.
"HLG continues to develop a strong and credible reputation in Oman and we are pleased to partner with them to deliver the Coil Coating Plant," said Ron Marchbanks, OARC's CEO, "With this project, OARC will expand its portfolio of added value of products ranges."
"We are satisfied that the partnership that we have developed with HLG will help assure the success of our project," said Don Wrenn, OARC's Coil Coating Plant Operations Director.
The construction of the Coil Coating Plant is set to begin in May 2014 with completion in mid-2015.
