Portuguese construction company Soares da Costa received four works in Mozambique, valued at $ 20 million (EUR 17.5 million). Soares da Costa will build two palaces of justice, in Nampula, the provincial capital of the same name, and Guru, Manica, rehabilitate the Xai-Xai bridge in Gaza and still run the signaling of the railway corridor Nacala, in the center and north of the country.
The four projects will be developed this year and the first half of 2016, the company revealed in a statement sent to Lusa. The two palaces of justice were awarded by the Mozambican government and the National Roads Authority commissioned the work on the bridge of Xai-Xai, the EN1, the only way to cross from north to south Mozambique.
The Soares da Costa is also rehabilitate the EN221 between Combomune and Chicualacuala in Gaza and to erect nine bridges in the provinces of Manica and Sofala.
The signal of the railway was, in turn, awarded by the Brazilian multinational Valley, to which the Soares da Costa is doing several bridges along the route between the coal mines in Moatize, Tete province, and the port of Nacala, Nampula, which also builds a set of administrative buildings.
“The award of these projects to customers with whom Soares da Costa already has strong relationships as a result of previous projects, is further evidence of repeated confidence in them in the performance of our teams,” said Rui Carrito, administrator company in Mozambique, said in the statement.
In an interview with Lusa in December, Rui Carrito provided that the construction billing in Mozambique would grow 20% in 2014 over the previous year, thanks to the weight of megaprojects Brazilian Vale, coal, and Anadarko US, in the gas, which together accounted for 45% of the total.
“These are major projects that make the company’s billing out of mediocrity we had four or five years of 15 million euros per year for a little over a hundred million in 2014, the best year ever in Mozambique, and anchored on clients Valley and Anadarko, “he said.
Mozambique, with 20% of the volume of the coast Soares business, is the second most important market for construction, behind Angola.
“While 2014 was very established infrastructure, 2015 will be in construction” said the representative of the Soares da Costa in Mozambique, hoping that orders for public works of the state and Mozambican companies to maintain or exceed last year’s billing record.
