Method for Estimating the Volume of Work for Boundary Walls

Hi Friends,

In present post, we will discuss the methodology to arrive at volume of work and capital cost estimates for construction of boundary walls for a typical Alumina refinery of about 1.0 Mtpa capacity. As such there are many assumptions and variables depending on location and design of boundary walls but the methology for estimation will remain the same. let the total length of boundary wall for the considered plant works out about 10 km accommodating all technological, infrastructure and services facilities. The calculations have been presented in simplified manner for easy understanding as outlined here under-

The capital cost estimates for construction of boundary wall works out to around Rs. 2.5 Million per km which corresponds to around US$ 50,000 per km of running length of boundary wall. Using this method, capital cost estimate for boundary wall for Alumina refinery of any capacity can be calculated very easily just by relacing the assumptions and variables applicable for particular location of project site.
