Authorities in Iraq's western Al-Anbar province have begun construction of the country's first fully privately owned cement plant, a project expected to produce one million tonnes of cement annually and create at least 5,000 jobs.
According to Shafaq News, construction on the Ramadi Cement Plant is currently 27-30 percent complete. The facility will use German machinery and chemicals, and is being supervised by Swiss technical specialists to ensure international engineering standards.
The developer, Sada Al-Nujoom [Sada Al-Nugum] for Contracting and Oil Services, has also built a dedicated 26-megawatt power station to supply the project independently, without drawing electricity from Al-Anbar's allocation on the national grid.
