Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the Bahrain-based aluminium smelter, has concluded the optimization process of Line 6 Expansion Project with the completion of the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study.

The FEED Study was led by International Bechtel which was appointed as the Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Management (EPCM) Contractor for Line 6 Expansion Project in mid-April 2016. The FEED study was conducted in Bahrain with the deployment of Bechtel’s core team and key personnel in Line 6 Project offices at the Alba site and was supported with a larger engineering and procurement team based in its New Delhi office.

Alba’s chairman Shaikh Daij Bin Salman Bin Daij Al Khalifa said: “Line 6 Expansion Project is no longer a blue-print, but a reality.  We are very pleased with advancing Line 6 Expansion Project and expediting the construction phase to be on schedule.”

With the completion of the FEED study, many value-added initiatives were identified which in turn will optimize the safe delivery of Line 6 Expansion Project on schedule and within the budget, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
