Qatar Aluminium (Qatalum), Qatar

In the course of 2008 and 2009, Gantrex cooperated with contractors AIC, CCC and Al Reyami in the construction of Qatalum, the first aluminium smelter in Qatar and a joint venture between Qatar Petroleum (QP) and Norsk Hydro. Gantrex supplied the rail systems including tiebacks for the potlines (10,200m rails for the overhead track and the central passage), the surrounding buildings and the alumina ship unloader. The total project exceeded 4 million USD and was completed successfully.
