In 2006, QNCC and French Fives FCB (formerly FCB Ciment) finalised an QAR800m (US$219.8m) contract for the construction of QNCC’s fourth cement plant. FCB Ciment, which also constructed QNCC’s Plant 3, is building Plant 4 on a turnkey basis with a 5,500tpd capacity.
On completion of Plant 4, QNCC’s total capacity will be 11,900tpd clinker and 15,500tpd cement.
Plant 4 will be the permanent solution to the demands of the nation’s unprecedented construction boom, the company said.
