Egypt: The High Dam Electrical and Industrial Projects Company (Hideleco) aims to complete the 220 kV overhead transmission line between El-Owainat and Gabal Al-Kamel in New Valley governorate before the end of the year, in cooperation with the Military Production Ministry.
The new line serves the 6,300 km2 (1.5 M feddan) reclamation project and other development projects in the region.
The annual business volume of Hideleco has exceeded $31 M (EGP 500 M) so far, and the company seeks to increase it next year through expanding outside Egypt.
Kamal Koraytem, Chairperson of Hideleco, said the company completed 50 % of the Tima / Girga transmission line in Sohag governorate, and construction works were underway in Esna / Sebayea line in Qena and Nubaria /Beheira line.
Koraytem pointed out the 55 kV Benban / Toshka giant transmission line has been implemented in cooperation with Kahromika company. About 60 % of the 220 kV Qena / Nagaa Hammadi transmission line have been completed. Moreover, the new 500 kV transformer station in Giza’s Hawamdeyah is under construction.
He stressed that the work rates in the company’s projects were not affected by the coronavirus crisis or the curfew, as most of these projects are located in desert and remote areas. He noted that the company is committed to the delivery dates of these projects while providing incentives to workers and applying strict precautionary measures to protect them.
