The project will aim at rehabilitating and improving Maputo International Airport airside infrastructure (runways, taxiways, aprons and airfield ground lighting). AFD financed a preliminary study in 2010 which confirmed the necessity to move forward with the project.
The requested grant will finance the consulting services for the design of the Maputo International Airport airside infrastructure rehabilitation works. It will provide for the required analysis, design and documentation of the rehabilitation/upgrading works. The consultant will be required to carry out such field investigations and design studies as are necessary to determine the pavement, geometric, and functional characteristics of the pavement and drainage structures which will satisfy projected traffic for a 20 year design life. It will also include the preparation of the tender documents and assistance to ADM to evaluate the tenders received and to negotiate a works contract with the successful Contractor.
