Brictec Iraq KTB Fired Brick Production Line EPC Project Construction Progresses Smoothly in February 2026

Brictec Iraq KTB Fired Brick Production Line EPC Project Construction Progresses Smoothly in February 2026

I. Project Introduction:

The Brictec Iraq KTB Fired Brick Production Line EPC Project, launched in 2025, is advancing steadily according to plan. As the company’s second major engineering project in the Middle East market, it plans to construct three modern tunnel kiln fired brick production lines, to be implemented in three phases. Upon completion and commissioning of Phases I and II, the total daily output is expected to reach 900 tons. The lines will primarily produce 240×115×75 mm specification clay fired bricks, supplying high-quality fired brick products to Iraq’s construction industry.

II. Project Construction Progress:

As of February 2026, the project site has achieved significant construction milestones:

1. Core equipment installation is progressing in an orderly manner: All strip and blank cutting machines have been positioned, laying a solid foundation for subsequent automated blank-forming processes;

2. Kiln car manufacturing has been completed efficiently: 70 kiln cars have finished welding and assembly, providing reliable transportation support for the tunnel kiln firing section;

3. Tunnel kiln and supporting system construction are accelerating: The main structure of the on-site tunnel kiln and the exhaust flue system are under construction. Workers are actively carrying out steel structure installation, equipment hoisting, and welding operations, while track laying inside the factory building and equipment positioning proceed in parallel.

The Brictec on-site project team is operating with high efficiency and seamless collaboration:

Large hoisting equipment has precisely positioned heavy machinery, welding personnel are focused on splicing steel structures and kiln car components, and all processes are tightly coordinated. This fully demonstrates the efficient advantages of the integrated design-procurement-construction model under the EPC general contracting approach.

Leveraging its mature EPC construction experience in fired brick production lines, Brictec continues to provide full-process technical and engineering services for the Iraq KTB project, supporting the local building materials industry in its transition toward modernization and large-scale production. With construction progressing steadily, the project is expected to reach early commissioning and deliver results, becoming a model project for China-Iraq capacity cooperation and building materials technology export.
