Project Description
An international cement manufacturer is constructing a plant near Kimpese, in the Bas Congo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The new substation was constructed to provide power to the cement plant and will be supplied from SNEL’s Kwilu Substation with a 220kV transmission line. The distance is approximately 14 km.
ADC is providing Overall Project Management Services to the Project comprising of the Substation, the 220kV transmission line, the expansion of the Kwilu Substation to accommodate the new 220kV transmission line, and the supply to two nearby villages as part of a social responsibility program.
The Project Management was coordinated from the head office in Pretoria, South Africa, and on site by means of full time site supervision for daily progress and quality record keeping and feedback.

ADC and an international investor teamed up to conduct a due diligence to acquire a stake in a Heavy Fuel Oil facility in Mombasa, Kenya. The facility had been in operation for 11 years and had a remaining net plant capacity of 75 MW.
ADC conducted a Feasibility Study on behalf of a private mine to assess the feasibility of a potential High Voltage cross-border transmission line, supplying electricity to the mines in the DRC directly from Zambia.
ADC was tasked with the Project Management of an EDM/Kuvaninga network integration project. This project entailed the interconnection of the 40MW Kuvaninga Power Facility to the network consisting of a 7 km double circuit 110kV transmission line from the Kuvaninga facility to the Lionde substation in Chokwe.
