The Egyptian Gypsum Company (EGC) was planning to expand its plasterboard production through constructing a new production line at a designated extension area south of its operating plant in ElGharbaniyat, ElAmeriya District, Alexandria.
The project required carrying out a Category B EIA, for which EGC commissioned Arab Consulting Engineers (ACE) – Moharram Bakhoum and Environics.
Environics conducted site visits and document reviews to prepare the EIA for the new project, which covered the construction, commissioning, start-up, and operation phases.
Additionally, an environmental reconciliation plan was provided for the existing EGC plant to achieve full compliance with the Egyptian laws and regulations.
