Teamwork and partnership are the key to building a cement works from scratch in Upper Egypt. Building Materials Industry Company, Egypt - When a major industrial production facility is to be created on a greenfield site, many different organizations must come together to ensure the success of the project. Just such a situation occurred in Egypt in 2007 when the newly founded Building Materials Industry Company of Egypt (BMIC) acquired a license to build a new cement plant in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Assiut. When it is in full production, the plant will produce 1.5 million tons of cement per year, making it a major production facility by world standards. Modern cement plants contain some of the largest rotating equipment in the world and require motors with up to 12 MW of drive power.
