SMEC in Rwanda
SMEC has operated in Rwanda since 2011, and established a permanent office in Kigali in 2013. SMEC’s project experience in Rwanda includes: design and engineering on the Nyabarongo Power Station, currently the largest hydropower installation project ever undertaken in Rwanda; an environmental assessment for a 400 kV power transmission line from Iringa to Mbeya, connecting Tanzania and Rwanda; and the preparation of sanitation master plans for the Huye, Muhanga and Rwamagana on behalf of the Rwanda Environmental Management Authority.
More recently, SMEC has completed a detailed technical study of existing weighbridge stations; and has commenced sustainable land management as part of the Land husbandry, Water harvesting and Hillside irrigation Project, with the aim of improving the agricultural system in Rwanda.
