After starting production in November 2009, commissioning of the new 4,000 tpd production line was completed at the beginning of 2010 with a demonstration of all the contractual achievements.
Fives FCB achieved all the contractual objectives while respecting the deadlines and successfully passing the industrial and performance tests. It even exceeded the client’s objectives by the end of the first year of clinker and cement production.
Besides the global success of this project, one exceptional result should be taken into account: 6.5 million hours spent on site under optimal safety conditions: the construction, assembly and the start-up of the plant were carried out without any lost time injuries.
These results were obtained thanks to carefully working out procedures, training and raising the awareness of sub-contractors to safety constraints, plus the implementation of a dedicated team.
The project’s success was recognized by the American company DuPont, one of the world leaders in the field of safety and prevention of industrial accidents, which, in October 2010, awarded the prestigious DuPont Safety Award to Titan for the remarkable completion of the Beni Suef plant.
After an identical performance in Tula, Mexico, it is now evident that safety is a fundamental parameter, fully mastered by Fives FCB during the realization of its projects.
