(MENAFN) Aluminium Bahrain (Alba) has chosen Bechtel Canada to carry out the feasibility study for its proposed USD2.5 billion expansion plan to add a sixth production line.
The world’s fourth largest aluminium smelter said the feasibility study will evaluate the economics of building Line 6 as well as a fifth power station at the site. The study is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2013.
Alba previously expected the new line, which is poised to add 400,000 tonnes annual capacity to its current production of 881,000 tonnes a year, to be completed by early 2015.
Alba’s last major expansion took place in 2005 when it added a fifth potline at a cost of USD1.7 billion. Bechtel was involved in that project as the engineering, procurement and construction management contractor.
