  •  Magna-Dehra – Mechara road project: (In Oromia state administratin)
    •  A number of drill sites along the newly routed road. The Road connects the Arsi area with that of west Harerge. The project involves around five bridges to be constructed across five different rivers which are to be crossed by the proposed road construction. The job involves drilling at the middle of the water where the piers are supposed to be erected and also along the bridge abutments. Due to the jungle nature of the lower reaches of the project, the overall scheme was challenging.

 

  •  Mazoria Durame Durgi Road Project Lot IB Mazoria-Durgi (km 37+500 to 71+200) Contract 2: Hadero Durgi (km 37+500 to 71+200)
