Italian general contractor Salini Costruttori selected the company to supply special-purpose dam formwork and related engineering support to the concrete construction of the new 243m high dam being built on the Omo River. Harsco has supported Salini on other projects as the preceding Gibe I and Gibe II dam projects; a new dam and powerhouse in Nigeria; and the Bujagali dam in Uganda.
Harsco announced that it intends to establish a local support office in northern Africa this summer that will provide close-to-market access engineering, technical site support and erection and dismantling (E&D) services in support of its growing African presence and contractor relationships.
