Dubai Investments Park (DIP) Angola, an expansive integrated residential, commercial, and industrial project situated in Barra do Dande, has selected China Harbor Engineering Company (CHEC) to spearhead its infrastructure construction, as revealed in a contract announcement on Monday, reported by Jornal de Angola.
The Emirati-owned DIP Angola disclosed that the contract with CHEC pertains to Phase 1A Infrastructure Development, a crucial component of the integrated center, which stands as a unique venture in Angola.
Under the terms of the contract, CHEC will serve as the principal contractor for Phase 1A infrastructure works, encompassing road construction, storm sewer systems, water distribution networks, and electrical systems, with a duration of 10 months.
According to the announcement, these infrastructure works are deemed essential for laying the groundwork for the overall success and sustainability of DIP Angola, fostering an environment conducive to attracting further investment, business ventures, and industrial growth in the region.
Omar Al Mesmar, the General Director of Dubai Investment Park, emphasized the significance of providing essential infrastructure, including road networks, water systems, and electrical facilities, in creating a conducive environment for economic activities, job creation, and socio-economic development in the local community and the broader Angolan economy.
The roadworks and storm sewer systems aim to ensure smooth traffic flow and mitigate flood risks, thereby enhancing the overall livability of the area, while the water and electricity systems are designed to ensure a reliable supply.
Dubai Investment Park, introduced last January, is envisioned as a multifaceted center spanning residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, with a capacity to accommodate 200,000 residents and generate 140,000 employment opportunities across its expansive two-thousand-hectare expanse.
