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.


The Sangster International Airport (SIA) is the primary gateway to Jamaica, enabling the transit of more than 85% of tourists arriving on the island. In 2019, SIA received over 4.7 million total passengers. The operators aim for it to remain a significant terminal in the Caribbean and to be recognized globally as a leading tourist destination.

Entreprise Traoré Et Frères (ETEF) SARL

Submitted by BEAdmin on Thu, 10/27/2022 - 18:36



Entreprise TRAORE ET FRERES (“ETEF”) is a mining and construction company, which has been the catalyst for major changes in both industries in Mali since its foundation in 2010.

 

ETEF was born of an entrepreneurial spirit, which partly explains its phenomenal growth over the past decade. Its founder, Aguibou Traore, was working at the Loulo-Gounkoto goldmine complex in Mali, and noted the mine needed a maintenance truck. Mr. Traore acquired a truck from Togo and converted it to a maintenance truck, thereby filling the operational gap at the goldmine. This was the genesis of ETEF.

 

Within a short time, ETEF had become one of the largest subcontractors in Mali’s mining sector. Mr. Traore’s observations from his time in mining led him to recommend a fleet of more efficient Actros’ trucks to management at the Loulo-Gounkoto complex. In addition to enabling them to conduct their operations in a much more efficient manner, the move also proved a growth platform for ETEF. Soon, it was an invaluable partner to the goldmine and a key driver of its success.

 

Its partnership with the mine not only allowed ETEF to collaborate on a series of new mining projects but also gave the firm name recognition in the market, which it was able to exploit for continued growth. In 2016, having already established itself as one of the major players in the Malian landscape, ETEF won a tender to build 500 social housing units in Tabakoro on behalf of the Ministry of Urban Planning and Housing. Now, in addition to its collaboration with the country’s largest mining company, it was a trusted partner of government departments.

 

Far from being a contractor called upon to bring in extra manpower, ETEF is now a respected consultant engineer in its own right. An example of this is provided by the company’s innovative work on the 220 HA of perimeters in Balazan (Rural Commune of Kaniogo), carried out for Mali’s Department of Agriculture. This project, still ongoing, has been one of the most complex carried out by the Department of Agriculture to date, and involved a series of sophisticated civil engineering and electro-mechanical tasks, that only a handful of companies in Mali were equipped to take on. 

 

Growth has not come at the expense of sustainability. In addition to the positive socioeconomic impact, ETEF brings through employing 300 people across Mali, all of its projects place an emphasis on sustainability. In the Balazan agriculture project, for example, there were a series of workshops and awareness-raising sessions in communities, the construction of village groves, schools, school canteens, health huts, reforestation, and the construction of a vegetable market. Evidently, Mr. Traore still remembers that entrepreneur over a decade ago who first approached the board with an idea that could improve its operations. Now in its second decade of operations, ETEF still stands for its corporate logo: A company with a human face.
