Eng. Ahmed El Assar - Chairman of the Arab Contractors Company, and Eng. Wael Hamdy - Vice Chairman of Elsewedy Electric, paid an inspection visit to the operation of Julius Nyerere Dam and Hydropower Plant project in Tanzania, which is being implemented by the Arab Contractors Company and Elsewedy Electric. The visit was in the presence of Eng. Darem Debsi and Eng. Youssef Hamdeen - Acting Deputy Manager of the JV. This visit comes within the framework of the following up on the project due to its importance to the brothers in Tanzania, in light of the distinguished relations between Egypt and Tanzania, Egypt’s interest in African affairs, and its importance in providing energy to the brothers in Tanzania, controlling the flooding of Rufiji River, and preserving the environment, as this huge project has been implemented and aims to generate electricity with a capacity of 2115 megawatts. The dam also controls the flood to protect the surrounding environment from the risks of torrents and swamps and to store about 34 billion m3 of water in a newly created lake, ensuring the permanent availability of water throughout the year for the purposes of agriculture, fishing, and preserving the surrounding wildlife in the largest nature reserve in Africa and one of the largest reserves in the world. This project embodies the capacity and potential of Egyptian national companies to implement major projects at the international level, especially in Africa. The project has provided job opportunities for 1,961 workers, most of them are Tanzanian citizens, in addition to operating 525 equipment. The project includes the construction of a dam on Rufiji River, 1,025 meters long and 131 meters high at the crest, and a power plant located on the bank of Rufiji River in Selous Game Reserve in Morgoro region, southwest of Dar es Salaam (the commercial capital and largest city in Tanzania). The plant will be the largest in Tanzania, with an annual electrical capacity of 6,307 megawatt/hours. The project components include the main dam, which is a concrete dam with a length of 1,036 m at the top and has 7 water outlets, and 4 saddle dams to form a water reservoir with a capacity of approximately 34 billion m3 (a concrete dam with a length of 1,700 meters and 3 rock-fill dams with a total length of 16.5 km), and 2 temporary dams in front of and behind the main dam for drying and diversion during the construction of the main dam. Besides, the hydropower plant, which includes civil works, turbines and transformers with a capacity of 2,115 MW, an electricity connection station and 400 kv lines, and various equipment: the establishment of a residential complex, a road network, crushers and mixers, a water spillway in the middle of the main dam and an emergency spillway on saddle dam No. 1, and roads: temporary roads, and permanent roads to serve the project area, and tunnels: a tunnel with a length of 703 meters to divert river water, 3 tunnels with a total length of 1550 meters for the passage of water needed for the power plant, and bridges: a permanent concrete bridge and a temporary bridge over Rufiji River. The Egyptian JV implementing the project has completed construction of 9 turbines. The operational turbines contribute to strengthening Tanzania’s national energy grid. The main dam and saddle dams, which played a significant role in sparing Tanzania huge human and material losses resulting from unprecedented floods, have also been completed. The work includes the intake and water tunnels leading to the turbine building, the permanent bridge, temporary and permanent roads, the electricity connection station, and the accommodation camp for the client and contractor’s operating crew.
