Blaise Diagne International Airport (AIBD) is located near the city of Ndiass, a town in the African country of Senegal. The airport was named after the Senegalese politician who in 1914 became the first black African deputy in the French National Assembly. It serves as the new airport for Dakar, the country’s capital, since the old Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport became too small for the number of current operations.

There are many factors to consider when it comes to staff turnover – but while some may be inevitable, such as retirement, a change in career, or even moving away, others can be controlled.

When Qatar won the bid to host the 22nd FIFA World Cup™ in 2010 ahead of bids from heavyweights like the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Australia, many wondered if this beautiful yet very small country would be able to take on the challenge of hosting the greatest sporting event on the planet and will Qatar have everything ready on time to welcome over 1.2 million visitors from over 200 countries to a nation with a population of about 1.6 million people at the time.

According to a recent report on the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the world is making progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and clean energy. Unfortunately, 789 million people in predominantly sub-Saharan Africa, are living without access to electricity and millions have limited or unreliable energy access.
 

One of the countries that has taken great strides to enhance energy access, energy efficiency, and renewable energy is Namibia. NamPower developed the flagship 20 MW photovoltaic (PV) plant in Omburu, Namibia. The plant was developed by the joint venture partners HopSol Africa and Tulive Private Equity.
 

MPAMOT Pty Ltd and Mott MacDonald Limited are the owner’s engineers for the project, which will service nearly 20 000 homes.
 

Team members include Alberto Cuellar (project principal), Jose Munoz (project manager), Kader Johnson (civil manager), and Kevin Bowers (electrical manager).
 

Our renewable energy team enabled our clients and partners to overcome barriers, address risk, and unlock value. We managed the entire infrastructure cycle – from project inception, feasibility, implementation, and construction. Currently, we are monitoring operations.

 

We combine technical engineering expertise, with commercial, environmental, social and governance acuteness, and our in-depth knowledge of the energy sector. Our services on the Omburu project included conceptual design, development of employer’s requirements, development of specifications for the request for proposal for the procurement of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, evaluation of the bids submitted by prospective EPC contractors, support during EPC contract negotiations, review of detailed design done by the EPC contractor, construction and commissioning supervision including permanent site presence, management of the EPC contract, acting as employer’s representative under the EPC contract, and monitoring of the initial operation phase during the defects notification period.

 

Over the past 25 years, MPAMOT has grown to become one of the largest black-women-owned engineering and infrastructure development consulting firms of its size, capacity, and capability in South Africa.

 

MPAMOT’s portfolio includes energy, advisory, infrastructure and transport engineering solutions. Whether you are a public entity that is looking to bridge an infrastructure gap through private investment, a lender or investor who wishes to assess risk prior to commitment, or a project sponsor/developer that is about to submit a bid or embark on the process of securing finance for a project, or planning the design and construction of infrastructure, MPAMOT can assist.

It has been over a decade since Business Excellence (BE) first ran a feature on Namibia Power (NamPower). At that time, the company was focused on delivering the Caprivi Link Interconnector (now known as the Zambezi Link Interconnector), a N$3.2 billion project which would connect Namibia’s electricity network with its northern neighbours, enabling it to trade directly with them. Delivered in 2012, the company has now set its sights on more ambitious targets.
