Alba Line 6 pot shell fabrication in full swing

Aluminium Bahrain, a leading aluminium smelter, has announced that its Line 6 Expansion Project’s pot shell fabrication is full swing at a Bahrain contractor.

Alba’s Chief Executive Officer Tim Murray paid an inspection visit to Ahmed Mansoor Al Aali (AMA Group), one of the major Bahraini contractors for the Line 6 Expansion Project, to celebrate the fabrication of 100 pot shells on September 7.

Murray was accompanied by Line 6 project director Shawqi Al Hashmi and a delegation of Line 6 owners’ team and managers from Bechtel, the main contractor for the project.

Speaking about this achievement, Murray said: “We are very happy with AMA Group’s swift progress in fabricating 100 pot shells ahead of schedule. This level of performance shows that AMA Group shares our commitment to accelerate the delivery of Line 6 Expansion Project.”

AMA Group was awarded the contract to manufacture 427 pot shells (each weighing 44 metric tonnes) for Alba’s Line 6 Expansion Project, the first of which will be delivered to the Alba site by October 1
