The industrial landscape is perpetually evolving, and standing still is akin to moving backward. It is in the pursuit of excellence and innovation that QualiCal and Durgapur Steel Plant (DSP), a SAIL company, joined forces. The collaboration has achieved a momentous milestone with the successful conclusion of the 1 x 300 TPD Synthesis 85 Dolo Kiln project.

Commissioned in January 2015, the Dolo Kiln swiftly became one of the fastest executed projects in SAIL’s history. After displaying outstanding performance, QualiCal fulfilled all contractual obligations, and the plant was handed over to DSP in August 2015.

As of July 2023, the project reached its successful conclusion with all administrative matters settled. However, its impact will be felt for years to come. This collaboration has set new benchmarks in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the steel industry. It stands as a testament to what can be achieved when expertise, vision, and commitment are combined.

The successful completion of this project is not just a milestone but a beacon for the future of industrial innovation and progress.

The Powerhouse That Is Durgapur Steel Plant

Established in the late 1950s, DSP has carved a niche for itself as a leading producer of long steel products and as a trailblazer in manufacturing forged Railway Wheels & Axles in India. Through relentless modernization and expansion, DSP has progressively increased its production capacities, cementing its place as an industrial titan.

QualiCal’s Visionary Undertaking

In 2010, DSP, in its quest to further expand and innovate, entered into an alliance with QualiCal, a renowned name in innovation. This partnership was fueled by the shared ethos of progressive thinking and a commitment to excellence. QualiCal undertook the ambitious project of building the 1 x 300 TPD Synthesis 85 Dolo Kiln.

Embracing the “Make in India” initiative, QualiCal demonstrated its commitment to nurturing homegrown talent and industry by sourcing all major equipment from Indian vendors, significantly before it became a mainstream government initiative.

The Value of QualiPOOL India

Integral to the success of this project was QualiCal’s innovative QualiPOOL India.

QualiPOOL India is a consortium of Indian companies that brings together the finest manufacturing capabilities, technologies, and expertise in the country. This enabled the project to leverage local resources and expertise, effectively promoting the “Make in India” concept and contributing to the national economy.

The Excellence of QualiTEAM India

The human element was just as critical as technological innovation in the successful completion of the Dolo Kiln project.

QualiTeam India is a team of highly skilled professionals who possess a deep understanding of local challenges and global standards. This team was instrumental in ensuring that the project was executed with precision and adherence to the highest quality standards.
