Design of Tebinbulak concentration plant is approaching “the home stretch”

Enter Engineering, the largest EPC contractor in the Republic of Uzbekistan, and engineering-consulting company WOOD (Australia) signed a contract for performance of detailed design of a concentration plant at the Tebinbulak deposit in the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

The contract was signed by Ulugbek Usmanov, CEO of Enter Engineering and Greg Hayes, Senior Vice President - Wood Mining and Minerals (Australia).

The agreement provides for the detailed design of a concentration plant with an annual production capacity of up to 5 million tons of iron-ore concentrate.

The concentration plant will be part of the mining and metallurgical complex, being built in the Republic of Karakalpakstan at the Tebinbulak iron-ore deposit. The complex will, in addition to concentrate, produce up to 3.6 million tons of DRI (direct-reduced iron) out of 58 million tons of extracted ore. Of this volume, 1.8 million tons of DRI (direct-reduced iron) will be supplied to the metallurgical plant in Bekabad. The remaining raw materials will be used to produce 1.5 million tons of finished products at Tebinbulak plant.

The project implementation in Karakalpakstan will enable for the first time in the country to start a ferrous metallurgy enterprise, built on the principle "from raw material to finished product", as stated by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.M. Mirziyoyev.

WOOD company has been selected as the designer owing to its 160 years of experience in building the largest industrial plants all over the world.

In addition to detailed design, WOOD will, relying on its own international expert knowledge of the best vendors, provide support services for the procurement of the plant's critical equipment.
