Project Description
Description of the project
EZZ Rolling Mills Co (ERM) is operating a flat-steel factory in the Suez Special Economic Zone near Sokhna Port (GSDC area). ERM intends to expand the factory with a DRI plant which will produce DRI from imported iron oxide pellets. Sokhna Port will be used to import the raw materials, therefore the development of an iron-oxide pellets import terminal is required.
The unloading facilities for iron-oxide pellets will consist of three mobile harbour cranes and three mobile hoppers operating on the East quay of Basin 1. Conveyor belts will transport the pellets from the quay to the stockpiles, located on the land “behind” the quay. A stacker-reclaimer and a stacker will stockpile the product into and reclaim from the storage area. The reclaimed pellets are transported to a truck loading station for further transport to the DRI plant by trucks.
