French firm Eiffage Génie Civil and Eiffage Energie Systèmes was recently issued a Full Notice to Proceed (FNTP) by Denham Capital platform ‘Themis’ to begin construction of the Singrobo dam and hydroelectric power station in Côte d’Ivoire. Eiffage was awarded the contract to build the Singrobo hydroelectric dam in October 2018.
This project, which is being handled under a design-build contract by Eiffage Génie Civil and Eiffage Energie Systèmes, is located on the Bandama River between Abidjan and Yamoussoukro. It includes the construction of a mixed rockfill and concrete dam, a spillway, a plant housing the turbines, a discharge channel, the switchyard, the line connecting the power plant to the grid, temporary facilities and access roads.
The project is expected to be complete in 34 months and the power plant will produce 44 MW.
