CAIRO – 23 December 2018: The Arab Contractors Company acquired seven road projects in Africa, including three projects in Uganda and four projects in Cameroon with an estimated value of $400 million.

Head of African Projects Sector at the company Ibrahim Mabrouk said that road projects account for the largest share of the company's total volume in Africa.

He added that the Arab Contractors Company has already begun the insurance procedures for the receipt of the work site of the project of Stiegler George Dam, the largest dam in Tanzania, and recently signed a consortium with Elsewedy Company at a cost of about $2.9 billion.

Mabrouk pointed out that the consortium aims to provide a good model for work in Tanzania through the establishment of the dam project, drawing on its technical expertise.

The dam will be built on the Basin of Rufiji River as an important national project to generate power. Stiegler's Gorge Hydroelectric Power Station is expected to produce 5,920 GWh of power annually to fill the electricity and energy shortage in the country.
