02 Nov: First Alfranjet project in United Arab Emirates

In 2020, we have incorporated ALFRAN-HTR from the UAE as a Grupo Aldomer subsidiary. We have been collaborating with the company HTR for some time now and as a result, in April 2019 the first Alfranjet materials installation was carried out in the United Arab Emirates. In particular, 200 tons were projected at Arkan Cement Plant in Al Ain.

The work involved demolition, welding anchors, insulation gunning (Lite 10/14), and Alfranjet 45 SiC projection in the tertiary air duct, and Alfranjet 70 SiC on walls and the sidewall of the cooler. The installation was performed by qualified staff from Spain, in close collaboration with the HTR local workers.

The customer’s impression, as well as the rest of the companies present at the shutdown, was excellent, praising not only the speed of the installation but also the quality of the work executed and the degree of compliance with safety standards
