Sugar Plant Algeria

Astron has received one of the largest order ever in its more than 50 years’ history.
The Algerian Mazouz group has ordered a complex of Astron buildings for a new sugar production unit, about 30 km south of Alger.
The building complex will consist of twenty Astron single-storey and multi-storey buildings with a total area of approximately 30,000 m2. The buildings will be used for sugar production, storage and conveyors, laboratories and offices. The buildings are constructed to sustain heavy loads and fulfill the seismic requirements for that region.
With a capacity of 2,000 tonnes per day, this factory simultaneously produces refined white sugar, liquid sugar, and refined brown sugar in a wide range of packaging options.
The total weight of the selected building submitted to the tender is 675 tonnes.
The detailing part of the building happened in two offices. Hungarian (Nyíregyháza) and Luxembourg (Diekirch) engineers worked together on the project at the same time.
