Al-Mohsen Engineering Co., Qatar, is one of the country’s leading specialists for the supply of aggregates to major construction companies currently involved in Qatar’s many infrastructure projects. The company was established in 2012, and has already become a huge player in the construction segment. The company has invested in a range of Powerscreen rock crushing and screening equipment to meet the aggressive aggregates demands of local industry players involved in ambitious road development programs.
The first two machines Al-Mohsen purchased from local Powerscreen distributor, Arabian Agencies Co. (ARACO), were the Powerscreen® Chieftain™ 2100X mobile screen and Powerscreen® Trakpactor™ 500 impact crusher. As customer demand for quality aggregates has increased, Al-Mohsen has taken delivery of two further Trakpactor 500 and a Trakpactor 320 impactor, two Chieftain 2100X screens and a Warrior 2100 heavy duty scalping screen.
Operations Manager for Al-Mohsen, Mr. Mohamad Naji, said, “The efficiency, productivity and uptime of the Powerscreen equipment has a huge impact on our daily activity and allows us to meet the needs of our clients on time, which is the ultimate goal.”
Al-Mohsen has provided essential materials to the J&P Group construction company for use in its ongoing Orbital Highway & Truck Road project, which is expected to reach completion in 2017. The Orbital Road project will create a vital North-South connection which bypasses Doha City; thus reducing traffic and congestion within the Qatari capital. The J&P Group are responsible for the design and construction of 45 kilometers and eight lanes of road network, including four major interchanges and all related overpass/underpass structures.
The feed material for the machines is excavated limestone boulders, which are transported from Lusail (northeast of Doha) to the road construction site where Al-Mohsen’s Powerscreen plant works 20 hours daily. The Powerscreen machines are configured to deliver aggregates of 0 to 2.75 inches (up to 70 mm) and 0 to 2 inches (up to 50 mm), and the plant reaches 7,000 tonnes of crushed and screened material per day, according to the manufacturer.
In addition to the J&P Group, Al-Mohsen also supplies aggregates to the China Harbour Engineering Company for its contract in the development of the major East West Corridor project. When the East West Corridor is finished it will provide important strategic links with southern Doha, and will connect the Orbital Highway & Truck Road and the new Hamad International Airport.
