QATAR: Qatar Cement signs consultancy services deal to set up plant 5

Qatar National Cement Company announced signing a consultancy services’ contract with Basse Sambre of Belgium to set up cement plant No. 5.

The contract involves the preparation of global tender documents for the establishment of a plant with a capacity of 5,000 or 7,500 tonnes of clinker per day on turn-key basis parallel to the cement production lines (2, 3 and 4) at Umm-Bab.

Last June, Qatar National Cement Co decided to set up a cement plant with a capacity of not less than 5,000 tonnes of clinker per day, in a way to increase its production capacity of clinker and cement to meet the needs of the market in the future.

The company is now producing 14,000 tonnes of cement per day and meet the needs of the market, but it works to intensify its production during the coming period in light of the increased demand for cement.
