Hadi Watfa, the Manager of Above Ground Installation for the EACOP project, told Uganda Radio Network (URN) in an interview that more than 100 kilometers of the pipeline have already been covered in both Uganda and Tanzania. He highlighted the steady progress of the construction, marking a significant milestone.
A joint venture between China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co. Ltd and Worley Limited is undertaking the construction. As of the latest update, the contractors have laid 70 kilometers of the pipeline across both Uganda and Tanzania.
The contractor for the airport construction works, a joint venture of Israeli-British firms, Shikun & Binui International-SBI/Colas limited halted the construction works at the airport a month ago following government’s failure to allocate them more 126 billion shillings to complete the remaining works.
