Over the past 30 years, Sotravic Limitee has been a key contributor in upgrading the ageing Mauritius water network, executing over Rs 4bn of water infrastructure and Rs 7bn of sewer infrastructure projects. The latter were often executed in very difficult conditions, due to hard volcanic rock and a densely occupied working environment.
To date, Sotravic has installed over 600km of water pipelines and 300km of sewer pipeline networks, including 40,000 house connections. This includes the construction of reservoirs, major pump stations and treatment plants to manage these networks. 8 PROJECT FACT SHEET - MAURITIUS
