•       OYAK has taken an investment decision to establish a carbon black production facility in İskenderun in cooperation with Taiwan’s International CSRC Investment Holdings Co. Ltd., the controlling company of Continental Carbon, a subsidiary of TCC and the sixth largest carbon black producer in the world. One of OYAK’s significant initiatives, the manufacturing of carbon black, will set new standards in Turkey and provide all 220 thousand tons of the country’s annual domestic carbon black demand. By taking this action, OYAK will stop importing $300 million worth of carbon black annually. The investment to establish a carbon black production facility is unique in Turkey.

•       EKON will carry out the supply, manufacturing and erection of Piping, Structural Steel, Equipment, Electrical and Instrumentation Works within the scope of the project.

Within the scope of this turnkey project, Ekon undertakes the entire of Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing, Construction-Installation Works, as well as start-up and commissioning of the installed systems. Upon conducting performance tests, Ekon trains to Eti Maden’s technical staff for successful the operation of the new system.

Operations Directorate of Bandirma Boron and Acid Plant processes Boron mine and transforms into high value-added, high quality and sustainable refined Boron products.

Turkey has 73% of World Boron reserve and Bandırma Boron and Acid Plant is one of the most important Boron Products Manufacturing Plant in Turkey. It supports energy savings and makes additional contribution to economy by means of existing 2 x 5.33MW Turbine Generator Groups which currently partially respond to power demand of the plants.

After the completion of project undertaken by Ekon, 36 MW new steam turbine-generator with its auxilliary units including a cooling system serving new and existing turbogenerator systems simultaneously, the modernization of the existing 2 x 5.33MW turbine – generator groups and their integration with the new system, 2 Main Distribution Center Buildings (ADM-1 & ADM-2) in where 34.5kV / 15kV / 6.3kV Swichgears , transformers in varied types and sizes and AC-DC Low Voltage Distribution Systems shall be installed; a new DCS which includes Energy Monitoring & Power Management System, Turbine Control Systems, Process and PMS will be made available to increase the energy production capacity of existing plants in order to ensure continuous operation of the facility without any dependence to external power source. Furthermore the energy infrastructure will be modernized.

İSDEMİR compound, together with its social facilities, is established on a total area of ​​16.75 million m2 and has a production capacity of 5,8 million ton/year liquid steel, 3.5 million ton/year flat steel, 0.6 million ton/year coil steel and 2.5 million ton/year billet steel products. İSDEMİR is one of the largest integrated steel producers in Turkey. With this New Blast Furnace investment, both the capacity and the efficiency of the the existing plant will increase substantially.

Ekon’s scope will cover design, manufacturing/supply, construction, installation, testing, training and putting into successful operation, the complete FGD plant on a Turnkey basis as well as supervising commercial operations for 2 (two) years and carrying out maintenance during this period.

All necessary modifications in the existing power plant to integrate with the new FGD plant, and providing all the auxiliary systems including pulverized limestone receiving/storage system, limestone slurry preparation system, gypsum pre-dewatering system and an ash/gypsum slurry mixing system is also under the scope of Ekon.

Ekon will use state-of-the-art wet limestone FGD technology of Doosan Lentjes Gmbh which has 71GW installed wet FGD experience worldwide. Once complete, the plant will be one of the most efficient FGD plants in Turkey with 98.5% efficiency using the latest technology to fully comply with Turkish environmental directives.

The duration of this contract was 600 days of which contractual deadline was 5th October 2016. The project has successfully been completed ahead of the schedule with actual completion date of 23 September 2016 by the start of Trial Operation Period.

Performance tests have successfully been completed on 15-16th December 2016 and Provisional Acceptance Protocol has been mutually signed by EÜAŞ and EKON on 26th January 2017 without any punch list item. Provisional Acceptance Protocol has been approved by EÜAŞ on 4th April 2017.

Afşin-Elbistan B Thermal Power Plant, which was established in Kahramanmaraş to meet Turkey’s increasing energy needs by using 554 million tons of low-calorie coal from the Çöllolar basin, has a total installed capacity of 1440 MW with 4 units of 360 MW each.

Ekon will act as the main contractor under the contract and will perform detailed engineering, steel fabrication and assembly works, civil works, mechanical installation, electrical and automation works for the damaged second unit.

The contract has a value of  57.773.495 EURO and the project duration is 20 months.

The Nyumba Ya Akiba cement plant of a capacity of 3.000 TPD of clinker will use local limestone and clay as raw materials and imported coal as fuel and is located about 250 km from Kinshasa (the capital city of D.R. Congo) and 100 km from Matadi Port in the Songololo Territory of Bas Congo Province of Democratic Republic of Congo. Bas-Congo is the only province of the country with a coastline (Atlantic Ocean).

The Nyumba Cement will ease the country’s dependency on expensive imports, which stand at over 50% of total cement consumption and its output will target a vast area of the country and stimulate infrastructure development while supporting the local private sector, particularly small and medium enterprises, by promoting the reinforcement of the local supply value chain.

Within the content of the project, EKON shall perform design of all structures which are considered a natural part of the equipment, design of cable tunnels, trenches, supports for ducts, stacks, elevators, general documentation such as technical specifications for construction works, material requirements, test procedures, manufacturing and supply of structural steel (including stair tower, handrails, platforms, gratings, checkered plates, bolts, etc..) and anchor bolts and site erection supervision.

In the scope of the project approximately 1480 tons of steel structures will be manufactured and supplied on a FOB basis to Alsancak Port / Izmir.

The new headquarters has 2 basements, one ground floor and 5 upper floors on a total building area of 16.750 m2. The building has two parking basements of a total capacity of 140 cars, a conference room which can accommodate up to 120 people, a canteen, meeting rooms, offices. It also features a large garden and a 90 m2 fitness salon and activity salon.

Transparency has been chosen as the main concept in the project of the headquarters building, steel elements which form the structure of the building are not covered in order to reflect group’s main activity focus and are visible from the outside. The building is a green building and one of the few in the city of Ankara to hold a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Certificate. The Construction of the building started in June 2012 and ended in April 2014.

As one of the most valuable investments of Tunisia, Djebel Ressas Plant is first and unique project completed after Arab Spring and furthermore, the plant exceeded the design figures in terms of production capacity and product qualities while reaching to less emission figures which have been extremely appreciated.

In the project, EKON signed a contract with Yeni AEN Insaat (Ansaldo Energia) on 12th of July 2011 to undertake the detail engineering works, civil construction, mechanical erection including two GT’s, two HRSG’s, one ST and all auxiliaries and mechanical supply of Balance of Plant.
