📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of 1,000-km rail network to link Gâra Djebilet mine in the western Tindouf province with Bechar province in Northwest Algeria.
Description:
Algeria is planning to construct a 1,000-km rail network to transport iron ore from its largest mine in the Western part of the North African Arab country. The railway will link ‘Gâra Djebilet’ mine in the western Tindouf province with Bechar province in Northwest Algeria. The project involves the construction of a railway that will stretch around 1,000 km to transport iron ore from the mine in Tindouf to Bechar.
Around twenty buildings, including a 9km bridge and a station at the regional capital of Abadla (88km south of Bechar), will be connected to this first stretch.
The network will also have a 30-kilometre ramp connecting the prospective steelmaking complex of Bechar to the Bechar/Oran railway line. In order to facilitate the transportation of products from this complex to the port of Arzew (Oran). The Bechar-Tindouf railway corridor is described as a critical infrastructure for the conveyance of iron ore from the large Gâra Djebilet deposit. The rail should facilitate the transport of the resources extracted to the steel complex planned in Bechar whose output is aimed at the global market via the ore port of Arzew.
