Kwikspace delivers first ever rental units in Namibia

This project, which commenced at the beginning of June 2014, is a milestone for the company as it marks their first ever delivery of rental units in Namibia. They have the largest rentals fleet in sub-Saharan Africa and have had extensive prior involvement in Namibia.

The construction of the Neckartal Dam is of great significance to the country as it will create a reservoir capable of holding 857 million cubic metres of water, based on figures by Salini Impregilo S.p.A. On completion, the dam will bring about economic growth and prosperity in the country as it will be used for power production, irrigation and agricultural development.

To ensure the smooth running of the construction process, the completion of infrastructure such as accommodation camps and office space for the construction team is an essential factor. For this reason, Kwikspace's rapidly deployed units are highly suitable to the project requirements.

"We value the fact that we are able to contribute to a project that will see great growth take place in our neighbouring country, and we're equally pleased that we have entered new territory with our rentals fleet," says Leon du Plessis, Kwikspace Modular Buildings' regional sales manager for the Western Cape.
