POWERCHINA's Commitment to Building a Sustainable Future through Global Projects

Collaborating for a Better Tomorrow

POWERCHINA has made a significant impact on worldwide infrastructure development, recently reaffirmed by its consistent ranking as the top engineering design company globally by Engineering News-Record. With operations in over 130 countries, the company is deeply committed to addressing the construction needs of various regions while working alongside local communities to foster sustainable development.

Among the numerous initiatives, Li Dezhi, Deputy General Manager of POWERCHINA's Middle East and North Africa Regional Headquarters, is spearheading a pivotal project in Iraq, which aims to build 8,000 schools nationwide. This project is not merely about constructing physical buildings; it's a concerted effort to shape the future of a nation grappling with the challenges of education resource shortages exacerbated by population growth. The urgency to complete these schools aligns with the school opening season in Iraq, thus propelling POWERCHINA to prioritize timely delivery and social impact.

A Strategic Approach

The scale of this educational initiative requires meticulous planning and resource allocation due to the concurrent construction of hundreds of schools. Li emphasizes the importance of ensuring progress, stating, "This is more than a construction project; it is about shaping the future of a nation." The revitalization of educational infrastructure is crucial, especially in a post-war context, to foster the growth of young minds who will lead Iraq into the future.

In a different context, POWERCHINA is also transforming Angola's water supply systems, which have suffered significantly due to damage and pollution during years of turmoil. Nara Laborinho, an employee from Angola, has been crucial in this endeavor, blending her understanding of both Angolan and Chinese cultures to facilitate effective communication and resourceful solutions. Nara is particularly involved in a water supply contract that aims to provide access to clean drinking water for over 700,000 households in regions where water scarcity is a critical issue.

The Impact of Clean Water

Emphasizing her commitment, Nara states, "Water is life. Without water, there is no life." This profound expression highlights the societal importance of their projects, as POWERCHINA works tirelessly to restore and upgrade water infrastructure, ensuring essential resources reach the communities that need them most. With successful completion of vital pipeline construction, communities are witnessing a transformation that brings clean water within reach, fundamentally improving living conditions.

Moving Forward Together

Both these efforts underscore POWERCHINA's philosophy: that construction is not merely about building structures but rather creating lasting, positive impacts on societies. Whether in Iraq's education sector or Angola's water supply efforts, the company is committed to embracing collaboration with local teams to navigate challenges and fulfill the needs of the regions it serves. As it continues to expand its portfolio of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) projects, POWERCHINA embodies the spirit of community engagement and sustainable development.

The company is setting a precedent for how construction industries can play an essential role in medical, educational, and infrastructural improvements worldwide. POWERCHINA’s work exemplifies an unwavering belief that through cooperation and dedication, a brighter future is not just possible but achievable.
