Dubal floats tenders for plant-wide MEP upgrade

Aluminium producer Dubal has floated a tender for the third phase of a plant-wide upgrade of its air-conditoning units.

The work will include all associated ducting, design, installation, cladding and integration of new units with existing ones.

Dubal said that it is seeking bids from companies "with a proven track record of supply and installation of A/C units and associated works in live industrial environments in GCC countries".

Dubal's plant at Jebel Ali is one of the largest single-site aluminiumn smelters in the world, capable of producing over one million tonnes of finished aluminium products a year.

The site contains a primary aluminium smelter, a 2,350MW power station, a large carbon plant, a 30m gallon per day desalination plant and casting operations capable of producing 1.2m tonnes a year.
