BCL smelter shuts down for refurbishment

The delay in the commencement of the shutdown was necessitated by the outstanding delivery of a vital material required for the process, especially items for the waste heat boiler that are being sourced from Europe.

BCL Managing Director, Daniel Mahupela indicated during a special management brief this week that there is, however, no cause for alarm as management has everything under control to achieve the initial planned shutdown time frame of 62 days.
