On 6 October 2010, Fives FCB obtained from Qatar National Cement Company the Final Acceptance Certificate of the complete Umm Bab line no.4, with a capacity of 5,000 tpd.
QNCC had entrusted Fives FCB with this third turnkey contract on 15 November 2006. Only 17 months after the order was brought into effect, in April 2008, Fives FCB had obtained the provisional acceptance for the first cement grinding plant, and the second grinding plant had been started up in June 2008, 3 months ahead of the contractual schedule. The burning line had been commissioned in April 2009.
This contract followed those for the construction of Umm Bab lines 2 and 3 (2,000 tpd and 4,000 tpd).
The three Umm Bab production lines supplied by Fives FCB enable this cement plant to produce up to 15,000 tpd of cement (5 million tpy of cement), making it one of the largest and most modern cement plants in the Gulf region.
