CASA-1000.
Kalder is supporting Croatia-based Dalekovod in its bid for two CASA-1000 supported projects for the construction of overhead high-voltage electricity transmission lines in the Republic of Tajikistan, totaling 215km; with a total project value of approximately US$80 million. Two smaller projects are also being pursued to construct smaller sub-stations in rural areas of Tajikistan, estimated at US$9 million. Dalekvod has enlisted Kalder to manage all major communications with the client, to provide cost estimates for land-surveying and geotechnical work within the scope of these projects, to support its search for a local construction partner, and provide due diligence on the final selection of its local team.
