A-E Services for Africa and Developing Countries
Under the scope of this opportunity Multi-disciplined A-E services are required to
1.) Provide complete design services for infrastructure projects in developing countries. 2.) Evaluate and report on the feasibility, scope, and relevance of engineering proposals prepared and submitted by developing countries. 3.) Evaluate and report on the engineering technical merit of project proposals with respect to local design standards and costs. 4.) General oversight and monitoring of projects during design and construction to ensure fidelity and integrity between the approved project proposal and the project ultimately implemented, including project tasks and associated funding. 5.) Provide analytical assessments and recommendations on measures to enhance sustainability of the proposed projects and develop appropriate institutional framework and work plans for efficient and cost-effective implementation, 6). Undertake environmental reviews and/or assessments on the proposed projects.
Typical infrastructure projects may be of the following type:
a. Water Resource Management/Bulk Water Supply: Management and development of water resources; dams; watershed management; wetlands, coastal water quality and management.
b. Transport. Construction or rehabilitation of urban and rural roads, seaports, airports and railroads.
c. Water and Sanitation: rural and urban water supply and sanitation systems; wastewater treatment facilities; solid waste including sanitary landfills.
d. Irrigation Systems: including canals (gravity, primary, secondary, tertiary), pumping stations, reservoirs, drainage systems.
e. Energy and Power. Resource development; electrical generation (conventional or alternative energy); overhead and submarine transmission and distribution; rural electrification; biofuels and associated infrastructure; central heating systems; gas (natural or coal be methane) supply, processing and distribution; oil and gas exploration and production.
f. Industrial. Industrial parks, agricultural processing facilities and zones.
g. Institutional Facilities. Vertical structures such as schools, hospitals, health centers, housing, animal care facilities, offices, visitor centers, courts, etc.
