CAIRO – 4 September 2020: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi directed the government to complete the construction of Tanzania's Rufiji Dam and Julius Nyerere Hydropower Plant, which is being implemented by the Egyptian Arab Contractors in cooperation with Elsewedy Electric, in higher quality, according to a statement issued by the Cabinet on Friday.
The plant aims to produce electrical power with a capacity of 2,115 megawatts and is being implemented at a cost of $2.9 billion. The amount of electricity produced per annum will be 6,307 megawatts/hour. The capacity of the transmission lines connecting the plant to a regular power plant is 400 kilovolts.
Four dams will be constructed in addition to the main dam in order to form the reservoir. Also, 2 temporary dams located in front of and behind the main dam will be in place to redirect Rufiji River while the main dam is being built. There will be two siphons for surplus water. One of them is for emergencies.
The project includes a tunnel extending on 703 meters to redirect the river, and 3 other tunnels transmitting water to the hydropower plant. That's in addition to the introduction of a permanent bridge and two temporary bridges over the river as well as permanent and temporary roads in the area.
The under-construction dam is 1,025 meters in length, and 134 meters in height, with a storage capacity of about 34 billion cubic meters. The project is expected to benefit 17 million Tanzanian families.

El-Sisi backs Egyptian companies building major dam in Tanzania

CAIRO: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has expressed his support for the construction of a dam at the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station in Tanzania by two Egyptian companies.
Arab Contractors and Elsewedy Electric were awarded the contract for the construction of the dam on the Rufiji River by the Tanzanian government in December 2018, at a cost of $2.9 billion.
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has held a meeting to follow upon the project. He said President El-Sisi wanted the dam in Tanzania “to express the ability of the Egyptian contracting sector to complete major projects to the highest quality.”
Minister of Housing Assem Al-Jazzar confirmed that the project aims to generate energy with a capacity of 2115 megawatts, to be transmitted through 400 kV lines.
Head of the Central Agency for Reconstruction Maj. Gen. Mahmoud Nassar said the Julius Nyerere dam protects the surrounding environment from the dangers of flooding and will store about 34 billion cubic meters of water in a new lake that ensures the constant availability of water throughout the year for agriculture and fishing and the preservation of surrounding wildlife.
He said that the project consists of the main concrete dam body and four supplementary dams to form the water reservoir, two temporary dams in front and behind the main dam, and a hydroelectric power station. He explained that a housing complex and a temporary and permanent road network will be established to serve the project, which will also involve a spillway, a 703-meter tunnel, a permanent concrete bridge and two bridges over the Rufiji River.
Gen. Nassar said that despite the challenges faced by those working on the project, mainly caused by four floods between December 2019 and March 2020, they had still managed to complete a large part of the project. The number of employees working on it stood at 5,233 workers, made up of 526 Egyptian workers, and 3,974 Tanzanian workers, as well as 733 foreign workers from other countries.

wacha ufala wa kuzusha! leta evidence hii project tender ilitangazwa kampuni zika-bid na two Egyptian companies won the tender. Kama El Sisi anahimiza kampuni zake zihakikishe ujenzi unakuwa wa highest quality ni out of his good diplomacy towards Tanzania that showed a trust to Eqyptian companies just like Turkey's president that has always insists on Yapi-Merkezi delivering! Mind u the $2.9 bln project is the largest foreign tender to Egyptian companies so far!
