Qatar: QPMC to inaugurate cement storage silos in 1Q

Qatar Primary Materials Company (QPMC) will inaugurate its cement storage silos project in the 1Q17 as part of its “efforts to ensure sustainable supply” of cement in the country.

QPMC CEO, Eisa al-Hammadi, said the project is located on Berth 1 of the Port of Mesaieed and comprises two cranes, two conveyor belts and 12 silos with a storage capacity of 5000t for each. The cement materials would be transferred from the concrete silos to four iron silos which will discharge the cement with an unloading capacity of 250tph for each silo.

“One of the main objectives of concrete silos is to put an end to shortfalls and ensure the provision of cement and other concrete materials in a sustainable manner for current and future projects, as well as supporting the private sector,” Mr al-Hammadi said.
