Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) plans to construct a new substation in Hamuko village, Hamurwa Sub-County, Rubanda District. To participate in the bidding process, L&T Construction instructed SADRiNE Consulting Group Limited to conduct geotechnical surveys, which included soil resistivity tests, excavation of test pits, drilling boreholes, and laboratory testing of samples. The purpose of these investigations was to gather subsurface information to aid in designing the new substation facilities.
The geotechnical investigations, conducted under the supervision of Evelyn Lydah Awori and Samuel Jjuuko from January 31st to February 5th, 2022, involved a comprehensive field study and subsequent laboratory analysis. The findings were compiled in a detailed report, providing essential data on the physical and engineering properties of the subsurface soils. These findings and recommendations aimed to ensure the technical feasibility and sustainability of the new substation, contributing to the successful execution of the project.

The Uganda National Road Authority (UNRA) is planning to upgrade the Arua-Giligili Ovision Road using low-cost sealing technology. To support this initiative, M/S KKAAT Consult Ltd was contracted to provide detailed engineering design consultancy services, with SADRiNE Infrastructure Services (SID) Limited sub-contracted to conduct geotechnical, soils, and materials investigations. These investigations included alignment soil test pitting, dynamic cone penetration testing, and construction materials surveys to inform the pavement design process and ensure the suitability of materials used.
The comprehensive geotechnical investigations aimed to determine subgrade characteristics and identify appropriate construction materials. Activities included trial pitting, dynamic cone penetration tests, and sampling of soil, aggregates, and water for laboratory analysis. The findings, compiled in a factual report, provided essential data for the engineering design, ensuring the technical feasibility and sustainability of the proposed road upgrade, ultimately contributing to the project’s successful implementation.

The Uganda National Road Authority (UNRA) is planning to upgrade the Toroma-Okokorio Ferry Landing, Katakwi-Toroma, and Kumi-Agule Ferry Landing Roads using low-cost sealing technology. To facilitate this, M/S Beza Consulting Engineers Plc, in association with M/S AIB Consult Ltd, was contracted to provide detailed engineering design consultancy services. As part of this assignment, SADRiNE Infrastructure Services (SID) Limited was sub-contracted to conduct geotechnical, soils, and materials investigations, which included soil test pitting, dynamic cone penetration testing, and construction materials surveys, to inform the design and construction of these roads.
The geotechnical investigations aimed to determine the subgrade characteristics and identify suitable materials for pavement construction. This entailed field investigations such as alignment trial pits, dynamic cone penetration tests, and sampling of soil and construction materials, followed by comprehensive laboratory testing. The findings and recommendations, compiled in a factual report, ensure the technical feasibility and sustainability of the proposed road upgrades, supporting the successful implementation of the low-volume road project.

The Government of Uganda, through the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), directed the establishment of the Gulu University Constituent College of Agriculture in Karamoja, anchored on the philosophy that national development can be enhanced by a properly integrated and coordinated agricultural education. As part of the work plan, SADRiNE Infrastructure Services (SID) Limited was tasked with conducting geotechnical investigations and geophysical surveys for the construction site of the task force offices/administration block. The investigations, conducted under the supervision of Samuel Jjuuko, aimed to determine the engineering properties of the subsurface soils and guide the design and construction of suitable foundations.
The study involved comprehensive field investigations and laboratory testing from May 1st to 3rd, 2022, followed by detailed analysis and report writing. The report provided geotechnical recommendations for foundations, earthwork, and drainage designs, ensuring the project’s technical feasibility and sustainability. The findings highlighted the importance of a thorough understanding of the site’s geological and geomorphological conditions, contributing to the successful implementation of the Gulu University Constituent College of Agriculture in Moroto

The Government of Uganda (GoU), through the Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE), engaged Sering Ingegneria srl for consultancy services aimed at enhancing water security in Ojama, Serere District. The project focused on the detailed design and supervision of earth dams and multipurpose water systems to support irrigation, livestock watering, fisheries, and small industries. This initiative, which aligns with the Uganda National Development Plan II and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), targeted the eradication of poverty and hunger by improving water resource management in a region heavily affected by prolonged droughts.
The consultancy service was divided into three main phases: the preliminary study, detailed design, and construction supervision. Key activities included comprehensive data collection, socio-economic surveys, water resources assessment, detailed engineering design, environmental and social impact assessments, and rigorous construction supervision to ensure adherence to specifications. The project’s overarching goal was to provide technically feasible, financially responsible, and environmentally sustainable solutions for multi-purpose water supply, ultimately supporting sustainable agricultural productivity and water management in the region.

The study encompassed assessments at the feasibility level and the preliminary design of selected earth dams and multi-purpose water conveyance systems to ensure water security within the identified study areas, with a broad measure of social equity. The project aimed at multi-purpose benefits that were cost-effective and socially and environmentally acceptable. The overall objective of the assignment was to provide a range of options for multi-purpose water supply for livestock and irrigation development in a manner that was technically feasible, financially responsible, and environmentally sustainable, based on a workable and cost-effective management approach.
The specific objectives of the assignment included conducting relevant technical investigations and studies, comprising water resources assessment, socio-economic assessment, agronomy studies, topographical surveys, geotechnical investigations, and hydraulic studies. Additionally, detailed engineering designs and cost estimates were prepared, along with performing financial and economic analyses, which formed the basis for investment finance mobilization and project implementation for the various sub-projects identified by the study.
