Xi’an Brictec Iraq KTB Project Enters Accelerated Construction Phase
October 2025 Construction Progress Report

Project Overview:
The project is planned to build three modern tunnel kiln-fired brick production lines, implemented in three phases. After the commissioning of Phase I and Phase II, Xi’an Brictec, following its participation in the Sulaymaniyah Najimadin project, has launched its second turnkey clay brick project in Iraq.
The designed production capacity is 1,200 tons/day, covering Iraq’s mainstream brick types — mainly 240×115×75mm, 400×200×200mm, and 200×200×400mm clay fired bricks.

At the end of September 2025, the General Manager of Xi’an Brictec personally visited the project site to inspect the construction progress, communicate with the client, and review project updates to ensure the project is completed on time, with guaranteed quality and quantity.

KTB Project October 2025 Construction Progress Report
In October 2025, the construction of the KTB project has been progressing steadily. The current status is as follows:

1. Construction Team
A total of nine professional construction workers from Brictec were dispatched to the project.
All of them have many years of experience in brick plant construction and kiln installation, providing solid manpower and technical support for on-site operations.

2. Tunnel Kiln Construction Progress
As the core facility of the brick plant, the tunnel kiln’s progress is of utmost importance.
Since early September, Xi’an Brictec has assigned skilled masons to accelerate the kiln wall construction.
Currently, the kiln wall masonry is well underway, and construction quality strictly follows brick plant standards, ensuring the kiln’s stability, durability, and insulation performance, laying a solid foundation for subsequent installation and operation.

3. Return Line Construction Progress
The foundation work of the return line is being carried out as planned according to the process design drawings.
The progress is on schedule, and the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation fully meet the design requirements, providing reliable support for future rail installation and kiln car operation.

4. Clay Aging Storage Construction Progress
The foundation treatment for the clay aging storage area is also being accelerated.
It ensures sufficient load-bearing capacity and strict quality control, laying a firm foundation for the later construction and clay aging storage operations.

5. Next Work Plan
The project team will maintain efficient construction, strengthen on-site management, and ensure both quality and safety.
Meanwhile, the team will closely monitor weather and other external factors, arrange schedules reasonably, and ensure that the project is completed on time and to high standards.
The KTB project team will continue to uphold a professional, efficient, and responsible attitude, fully dedicated to building a high-quality brick plant project.
