An environmental baseline study (EBS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe utility corridor of about 110 m wide is required for construction of vital infrastructure comprising refined petroleum products pipeline, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) cables, a dual-carriage highway, and power transmission lines between Hoima and Kampala.<\/p>\n
Ramboll is thus required to study and advise on how the planned infrastructure and auxiliary utilities will share the common corridor without compromising the safety, reliability, and integrity of each infrastructure. The pipeline routing will include challenging river and swamp crossings.<\/p>\n
Ramboll teamed up with local partner Newplan to win the project. Newplan is also sub-consultant to Ramboll on the greenfield project \u2018Kabaale International Airport\u2019 in the Hoima District, which is a new airport intended to service the oil industry and local communities in Western Uganda.<\/p>\n
Newplan is performing most of the field work for the Hoima\u2013Kampala pipeline such as topographical survey, geological and geotechnical investigations, EBS and ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment)<\/p>\n
S\u00f8ren Skovg\u00e5rd M\u00f8ller, Director of Engineering and Onshore Gas & LNG, in Ramboll Oil & Gas, envisions good opportunities for other projects in East Africa including in Rwanda and Burundi.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are using the two ongoing projects in Uganda to actively pursue the East African market for more onshore and offshore projects. We are monitoring the market opportunities in Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda for interesting projects within oil, gas projects as well as industrial master planning,\u201d says M\u00f8ller.<\/p>\n
Ramboll adds that it is following the big development projects in Tanzania and Mozambique where its\u2019s multidisciplinary skills set could be of great value to the developers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
