Aluminium Smelter

  • UAE
Following force majeure events, the aluminium production facility suffered a total ‘freeze’ of all operating liquid aluminium pots. At the time of the incident the project was ramping up the newly constructed facilities. CCi’s role included preparation of a ‘but for’ assessment of the timeline-related factors. This identified events that would have interrupted the normal progress of the ramp-up process had the force majeure event not occurred.
