ADPI to lead project to get Zanzibar terminal back on track

The main element of the work involves the construction of a 25,0002 metre second terminal.
ADPI was responsible for the design of other airports in the Indian Ocean including Mayotte and Mauritius
“This contract marks a new phase in our development in the Indian Ocean region, said ADPI’s chief executive Guillaume Sauvé.
"Having been selected by the Tanzanian local authorities, ADPI has every intention of fulfilling its mission of creating value for its clients by drawing on its expertise in airport processes and its experience in airport terminal design and renovation.
Construction work on the new terminal, which began in February 2011, had to be halted in 2012 as some aspects of the project did not comply with ICAO standards.
The Zanzibar authorities have been anxious to revive the project due to its strategic importance in the development of tourism on the island. The new terminal will allow an additional three million passengers a year.
ADPI was chosen by the MoIC (Ministry of Infrastructure and Communication) and ZAA (Zanzibar Airport Authority) to provide solutions to enable works to start again. ADPI, adapted the architectural design of the terminal, drawn up layout plans and carried out various engineering studies. Following negotiations with the Chinese building company BCEG and MoIC, these studies mean that the project can now continue.
ADPI will act as Project Manager for the duration of the works up until the successful completion of the project. According to Frédéric Thenevin, ADPI's regional development manager for Africa : "A growing awareness of the need to supervise construction projects opens up an engineering and consultancy market with high-growth potential. ADPI can, thus, provide guarantees for quality, safety and aviation security."
