Fluor and Eskom established a joint venture, Trans-Africa Projects (TAP), to complete the project for Motraco. TAP provided engineering, procurement, and construction management for a high voltage transmission project, from design through commissioning. The project involved the construction of two greenfield substations, four substation extensions, and two 40 kV transmission lines to provide power to a smelter in Mozambique.
TAP managed five transmission line construction contractors and seven transmission substation contractors in completing the work. The joint venture completed the project under budget and ahead of schedule despite the severe flooding conditions and difficult terrain.
