Under the 36-month contract, Polysius will act as the out-of-kingdom contractor on the scheme, providing engineering services, technology and equipment. Gama will be in charge of the project's local portion, worth about SR 400 million ($107 million), comprising all local supplies and construction.
It is the second contract the Polysius/Gama team have signed up for in the kingdom in the past eight months. In July, the companies won the SR 400 million deal to set up a 3,500-t/d cement line for Eastern Province Cement Company (EPCC -MEED 11:7:03).
Last November, Yamama signed a SR 285 million ($76 million) contract with Demag Delaval Industrial Turbomachinery (DDIT), the former Alstomindustrial turbine business, to build a gas-fired captive power station to replace the existing, diesel-powered generation plant. Under the contract, DDIT will supply and install five 25-MW turbines. The first turbine is due to become operational by December, with the following four turbines coming on stream throughout the subsequent four months.
DDIT has recently been sold to Germany's Siemensand will be fully integrated into the company's power generation division by September.
