The Lesotho Highlands Water Authority (LHWA) will soon extend invitations to engineering and construction companies, to express interest in tendering for the construction of the 165m high Polihali Dam wall, and the 38km water transfer tunnel.
This was said by the (LHDA) Chief Executive Officer Ms Refiloe Tlali, in a recent statement to the media.
The procurement for both contractors and consultants are expected to pave way for the construction of some of the advance infrastructure, that is scheduled to commence this year and 2019.
Among the infrastructure are roads, power and telecommunication network and housing.
Ms Tlali said the contractors will be asked to participate in a prequalification process, where South African and Basotho owned companies are encouraged to apply.
Ms Tlali said companies will be assessed for capability and depth of resources to undertake the project among other things.
