Kentz wins €30m contract in Africa
The $38m (€29.6m) contract has been awarded by a joint venture of local coal mining and production company, Vale Mocambique Limitada and junior partner, CFM, which is the country’s port and railway authority.
It will see Kentz — which provides infrastructural support services to the mining and exploration sectors — oversee the structural, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation erection work related to the new Nacala Corridor Project. This project is intended to provide a logistics solution for the transportation of coal from mines in Moatize in the north-west of the country to the port of Nacala on the east coast. The project will create around 700 construction jobs in the country, most of which will be sourced locally.
