Brictec MUSK Production Line Project
July Site Construction Progress Report

The MUSK hollow block production line project with a daily output of 800 tons, undertaken by our company, is progressing steadily in civil construction. Multiple milestones have been achieved in the core foundations and track works of the kiln and drying chamber.

Current completed works are as follows:

• Tracks for the first three spans of the tunnel kiln are fully installed, with the accompanying concrete floor slab pouring and curing completed;

• Tracks for the first two spans of the drying chamber are laid, with the corresponding floor slab concrete pouring fully completed;

• Masonry of the wall below the ring beam of the first span of the drying chamber is finished, and the staggered tooth joints (chamfered brickwork) for seismic tie columns have been simultaneously prepared and cast, ensuring the seismic structure meets the design standards.

At present, priority is given to rebar tying for the foundation of the aging yard, with the construction teams working in phased parallel operations to steadily advance the civil works.

According to the overall construction schedule, by the end of this month all foundations and track works for the drying chamber and tunnel kiln will be completed. After civil works are finished, the project will officially enter the equipment delivery and installation phase for kiln cars and the main machinery of the entire production line.

The project site is located in a high‑temperature and arid region of Iraq. The construction team strictly controls key processes throughout including concrete curing accuracy, masonry seismic techniques, and track installation flatness. They have overcome challenges such as extreme local climate and simultaneous multi‑trade operations, ensuring both quality and schedule compliance. This lays a solid foundation for the subsequent delivery and installation of the complete brick‑making equipment. Once the project is fully commissioned, it will supply high‑quality thermal insulation hollow blocks to the local market and support Iraq's infrastructure development.
