The
build up of the plant with an approximately cover area of about 50000
square feet for housing its main plant and another building of approximately
50000 square feet for the storage of the pack particleboard and laminated
melamine particleboard. Adjacent to the main plant and the storage
area, a second building was built to house the single daylight short
cycle laminating plant which requires a cover area of about 20000
square feet. Two other subsidiaries building was also build for the
in-feed of materials called the flaker production plant and the screening
plant for the refining of the dried material ready to be transported
to the main plant by chain flight conveyors ready for production into
particleboard. Apart from the main factory building, storage building
and the flaker production plant and screening plant, the compulsory
also has a generator plant capable of producing 4 Megawatt of electrical
power for the plant electrical consumption. Initially, this said plant
has been used but now the plant reserved as stand-by in case electricity
supply form SESB failed. The company has electricity supplied from
SESB since 2007and next a pump house for the installation of high-pressured
water pump for the fire protection system. A corporate office block

company has already been granted with a particleboard manufacturing
license from the State and Federal Department and the other local
authorities especially the town council and the Department of Environtment. |

With
the approval from both the State and Federal Department, the company
objectives is in line with the Government policy and the global environment
implication policy on the timber industries and the management is
confident that the company will be able to market its product in any
market since the particleboard plant is using recycle wood or waste
material obtain form surrounding sawmills and plywood mills. In order
to achieve our objectives the company will be getting the raw material
from neighboring mills and plywood factory whereby they can dispose
off the waste wood to out plant instead of burning the waste material
which is against the international call for prohibiting of opening
burning to protect the environment. |
