SHOTCRETING POJECT AT YANBU CEMENT COMPANY

Alfran Saudi Arabia successfully completed a shotcreting project at Yanbu Cement Company in January 2022, the job involved the supply, demolition, anchor welding and installation of 200 MT of Alfranjet 70SIC, in the cooler and the inlet cone of Line 4. Yanbu Cement is currently the biggest Cement producer in Saudi Arabia and holds around 13% of the overall Cement Market share in KSA. This order reflects Yanbu Cement’s confidence in the shotcreting technology as well as the quality of work performed by Alfran Saudi Arabia, in the previous shutdowns.

ARKAN CEMENT -
First Alfranjet project in United Arab Emirates

In 2020, we have incorporated ALFRAN-HTR from the UAE as a Grupo Aldomer subsidiary. We have been collaborating with the company HTR for some time now and as a result, in April 2019 the first Alfranjet materials installation was carried out in the United Arab Emirates. In particular, 200 tons were projected at Arkan Cement Plant in Al Ain.

The work involved demolition, welding anchors, insulation gunning (Lite 10/14), and Alfranjet 45 SiC projection in the tertiary air duct, and Alfranjet 70 SiC on walls and the sidewall of the cooler. The installation was performed by qualified staff from Spain, in close collaboration with the HTR local workers.

The customer’s impression, as well as the rest of the companies present at the shutdown, was excellent, praising not only the speed of the installation but also the quality of the work executed and the degree of compliance with safety standards

EMIRATES STEEL RM4

Alfran-htr completed the project at Emirates Steel RM4, in 2021. The works involved demolition and installation of dense and insulating castable (150 MT) in different areas, such as new roof lining for about 270 sqm, walking beam furnace, posts & skids. Once the work was  finished, we met our goal of zero accidents, in addition to delivering the project on time. Our customer was very satisfied with the works developed by our team. 

ALFRAN-HTR, EMIRATES GLOBAL ALUMINIUM, DUBAL FURNACE #26, DECEMBER 2022 UAE

Very pleased to take a part in this project “RELINING OF 12 FURNACES” with Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) in furnace #26 maintenance works in the DUBAL aluminum foundry. EGA is the world’s largest ‘premium aluminum’ producer and the biggest industrial company in the United Arab Emirates apart from oil and gas. During December, different maintenance works were carried out in the melting furnace #26, including demolition with our robotic demolition equipment, welding of anchors, and the supply and installation of nearly 200 tons of refractory castables, with different Alfran´s ranges, by vibrocasting and pumping systems, highlighting Drytech AL castables range, without cement and special anti-wetting, with very low porosity and high thermal stability, which prevents metal infiltration and provides cleaning tasks. We continue our expansion in the aluminum industry, being each year a reference benchmark in this market. With a staff of 40-45 people, once again, we achieved our goal of 0 accidents.
