Al-Mohsen Engineering in Qatar is one of the country’s leading specialists for the supply of aggregates to major construction companies

The firm is currently producing materials for many of Qatar’s infrastructure projects. Al-Mohsen is now a major player in the construction segment thanks to its ability to supply large volumes of high-quality aggregates to the market. The firm has invested in a range of 2991 Powerscreen rock crushing and screening equipment to meet the aggressive aggregates demands of huge local industry players involved in some of the most ambitious road development programmes undertaken in recent decades. The first two machines Al-Mohsen purchased from local Powerscreen distributor, Arabian Agencies Co. (ARACO), were the Powerscreen Chieftain 2100X mobile screen and Powerscreen Trakpactor 500 impact crusher.As the demand for quality aggregates has increased, Al-Mohsen has taken delivery of two further Trakpactor 500 impact crushers and a Trakpactor 320 impactor, two Chieftain 2100X screens and a Warrior 2100 heavy-duty scalping screen.

The firm says that the equipment suits the application as it can cope with intense and heavy work for long hours and is very productive. The firm also says that the Trakpactor 500 impactor is easy to operate and to service when required, while it offers high efficiency, productivity and uptime.
Powerscreen has had a strong track record in Qatar and in the wider Middle East region for many years where the machines are well known and respected. According to Powerscreen, the considerable investment by Al-Mohsen and the positive feedback the firm has provided since taking delivery of its machines serves to underline this.

Al-Mohsen has provided essential materials to the J&P Group construction company for use in their ongoing Orbital Highway & Truck Road project which is expected to reach completion in 2017. The Orbital Road project will provide a vital North – South connection which bypasses Doha City; reducing traffic and congestion within the Qatari capital. The J&P Group is responsible for the design and construction of 45km and eight lanes of road network including four major interchanges and all related overpass/underpass structures.

The feed material for the machines is excavated limestone boulders which are transported from Lusail (north-east of Doha) to the road construction site where Al-Mohsen’s Powerscreen plant is working for 20 hours/day. The Powerscreen machines are configured to deliver aggregates of 0-70mm and 0-50mm, and the plant reaches 7,000tonnes of crushed and screened material/day.
In addition to the J&P Group, Al-Mohsen also provide services to other major players such as Midmac, Al Darwish Company, Al Badr Group, Doha Logistics, ATM Group, Bin Tawar and Yuksel Midmac. Al-Mohsen also supply aggregates to the China Harbour Engineering Company for their contract in the development of the major East West Corridor project. When the East West Corridor is finished it will provide important strategic links with southern Doha and will connect the Orbital Highway & Truck Road and the new Hamad International Airport.

ARACO has been Powerscreen distributor since 2009 and is a leading provider of commercial equipment in Qatar, backed by strategic investments and a strong product portfolio. Araco has a 46,000m2 facility with a team of technicians and service personnel available 24 hours/day to provide after-sales support.
