Canada's SNC Lavalin, the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contractor, is reviewing bids for the main pilings and foundations package for the potline, which will have 120 pots. Bids for the civil works package are due in early June. Power for the furnaces will come from the power plant serving the Kestrel expansion programme.

France's Alstomand GE Power Systemsof the US were awarded in April 2003 the main turbine packages on the Kestrel power expansion, which is intended to add 245 MW to the plant's existing capacity (MEED 25:4:04).
