Redesign, Supply, Installation, Testing, and Commissioning of replaced Wooden Poles with Lattice Towers for 11kV and 33kV Overhead Lines in Swampy Areas, River and Road Crossings, Replacement of Poles

This federal contract, issued by ESCOM in Malawi under solicitation number MW-ESCOM-514124-CW-RFB, focuses on the critical infrastructure upgrade of 11kV and 33kV overhead power lines. The scope of work involves the redesigning, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of lattice towers to replace existing wooden poles. This transition is specifically targeted for challenging terrains, including swampy areas, river crossings, and road crossings, to ensure greater structural stability and reliability. In addition to the replacement of wooden poles, the project encompasses the replacement of damaged lattice towers and the re-conductoring of the affected lines. The initiative aims to modernize the electrical distribution network in these high-risk geographical zones to prevent outages and improve overall grid resilience. The project is managed through ESCOM and is linked to World Bank procurement operations.
