VINCI Construction to design and
build drinking water supply infrastructure
in Uganda
- Access to
drinking water for nearly 200,000 people
- €73 million
contract
Sogea-Satom and VINCI Construction Grands
Projets, subsidiaries of VINCI Construction, have been selected to
design and build drinking water supply infrastructure in the
Mbarara district of south-west Uganda, on behalf of the state-owned
National Water and Sewage Corporation.
This turnkey project worth €73 million,
initiated by the Ugandan Ministry of Water and Environment and
financed by the French Development Agency, involves the
construction of a water intake on the Kagera River, a drinking
water treatment plant with a capacity of 30,000 m3 per day, a
booster station, and the laying of 62 km of pipes.
200 people recruited locally will be trained in
the context of the works, which will last 22 months. Once the
installations are commissioned, they will guarantee access to
drinking water for nearly 200,000 people.
Sogea-Satom has a long-standing presence in the
country, in particular having built the drinking water treatment
plants at Ggaba (2016) and Katosi (2019), and having deployed its
expertise at the plant at Karuma since August 2021.
