ENCG wanted to install a new unit within its Bejaia complex that would produce 150 tonnes of household soap and 50 tonnes of packaged toilet soap daily. Of course, it entrusted De Smet with the completion of this project, which in turn called upon the support of Mazzoni.

TCA was entrusted with the task of drawing up project specifications relating to the civil engineering work which involved, over and above the production buildings, several additional buildings including a soda dissolution unit, large storage areas, roads, tracks and transfer racks.

TCA was present on-site to a considerable extent and participated above all in preparing and obtaining the necessary agreements from the various local authorities, in particular as regards the technical checks on the construction work.
