irrigation








GIBB has an excellent record of irrigation and hydroelectric projects in Mauritius. Over time GIBB has progressively integrated its traditional core strengths in engineering design and project management with and increasing emphasis on non-engineering areas such as quality assurance, professionalism and customer care.

This shift in project philosophy is reflected in the skills and training of our staff and their consultative, multidisciplinary approach to project management.

Some key elements of the services provided are:

  • Site Investigations and Surveys
  • Irrigation Master Plan
  • Feasibility Study and Assessment of Water Resources
  • Diversion Canals, Gravity Mains and Tanks
  • Spillway and Penstocks
  • Rehabilitation of Canals and Dams
  • Tender Documentation
  • Tendering Procedures and Appraisal
  • Supervision of Construction Works

We have implemented many irrigation and hydroelectric projects from the feasibility studies through to construction and commissioning.

Some major projects undertaken include:

  • Gravity Mains from Magenta Dam
  • Reduit Penstock and Spillway Dam
  • Rehabilitation of Trianon Grosses Roches Canal
  • Rehabilitation of La Ferme Canal
