How Daewoo Engineering Partnered with AMECO to Secure Morocco’s Energy Future

High Throughput & Robustness for Massive Material Volume Handling

Customer’s Problem

Korean EPC Daewoo Engineering & Construction (Daewoo E&C) was keen to participate in two major plant projects at Jorf Lasfar in Morocco – extending a thermal power plant to deliver two 20 MW units and building a separate fertilizer factory for OCP, the state-run phosphate company.

These two projects combined strong business and strategic importance for the country:

• The upgraded power plant was critical to eliminate recurring power outages. If the power plant isn’t reliable, the nearby desalination plant can’t produce fresh water, which could lead to a water shortage in the area.
• Reliable at the Phosphates Terminal, which could lead to costly delays. Second, the power plant provides power to a nearby desalination plant, which produces fresh water for the local community.

However, Daewoo E&C had never previously won a regional contract and faced tremendous global competition.

To edge out the competition, Daewoo E&C sought a partner with a proven track record in custom bulk handling solutions. The project leadership prioritized finding an OEM that could deliver a balance of efficient CAPEX, high performance, and low OPEX to meet their demanding requirements.

The AMECO Solution

With over 90 years of experience delivering robust bulk handling solutions, AMECO’s product line of reclaimers was the ideal choice to handle the extensive 1-kilometer-long and 60-meter-wide longitudinal piles.

Thanks to our 90+ years of experience delivering highly robust bulkhandling solutions, AMECO’s reclaimers were considered a great fit to handle the two 1-kilometer long and 60-meter-wide longitudinal piles.

AMECO Group offered Daewoo E&C and TAQA Morocco a value proposition that stood out in the competitive landscape:

• Proven performance and reliability built from high-quality steel for optimal durability
• Manufactured by a skilled and experienced workforce
• Fully automated systems for maximum safety and performance

The Machine in Numbers

Beyond the Installation: AMECO’s Ongoing Support

AMECO’s commitment to customer success extends beyond installation. We provide TAQA Morocco with continuous support, including custom spare parts delivery, training, software updates, and residual lifetime extension (RLA) services.

In June 2022, AMECO experts conducted a thorough analysis of TAQA Morocco’s two machines, which have been in continuous operation since their commissioning in 2011. Our team focused on critical components, such as motors, cables, and anti-collision sensors, delivering a comprehensive assessment and a tailored maintenance plan to optimize operational expenses.

Our team then provided TAQA with a comprehensive assessment of the machine’s status and a customized maintenance plan to optimize its OPEX. 

Outcome

Thanks to AMECO’s reliable machinery and dedicated support, TAQA Morocco has maintained consistent operations, ensuring the success of the Jorf Lasfar projects and contributing to Morocco’s strategic infrastructure goals.
