| Case Study: Pre-feasibility Study for a Greenfield Rolling Mill |
|
Last year we contributed technical know-how to a pre-feasibility study commissioned by Mubadala. As part of this study, which was for a Greenfield hot and cold rolling plant, our Process Improvement team specified the equipment required to make a pre-determined range of aluminium flat rolled products and designed a factory floor layout. To determine the project's feasibility, the team used their extensive experience of working in rolling plants to create a preliminary financial model. In addition to equipment utilisation and ramp-up schedules, this model took into account equipment costs, buildings and infrastructure costs, as well as operational costs such as utility loadings and staffing. Jeremy Nottingham, Senior Adviser, Mubadala comments:
The team at Innoval have years of experience working in world-class rolling operations throughout the world. Their input was vital to this study to ensure we had a realistic financial model to base our decisions on.
