The TEEC centre in Jonglei, South Sudan: Construction

In the heart of Jonglei, South Sudan, a beacon of hope is rising from the ground – the Excel Empowerment Centre. This ambitious project, expertly managed by KAN Construction Company, under the leadership of Engineer James Nyok, is poised to become a symbol of empowerment and progress for the local community.

Challenges and Solutions: Constructing the Excel Empowerment Centre came with its fair share of challenges. First and foremost, the project demanded a construction team that could ensure the highest quality standards. Engineer James Nyok, as the Managing Director of KAN Construction Company, led this endeavor, ensuring that every aspect of the project met the highest standards of excellence.

One notable challenge was the decision to mold the construction blocks on-site. While this meticulous approach ensured top-notch quality, it did extend the construction timeline. However, the patience and commitment of the construction team paid off as the quality of the blocks became a testament to their dedication.

The Water Prone Site: One of the most significant hurdles was the site's susceptibility to water. Located in an area prone to waterlogging, the construction team faced a critical challenge. To tackle this issue, the engineers, led by Project Engineer Noble Leek of KAN Construction Company, had to design a strong foundation capable of accommodating the water concern.

To mitigate the water problem effectively, the engineers made the bold decision to raise the foundation at least one meter above the ground level. This innovative approach not only solved the water issue but also demonstrated the engineers' commitment to overcoming obstacles to complete the project successfully.

Logistics and Determination: Another logistical challenge was the transportation of backfilling material. This vital component had to be sourced from a location approximately 30 kilometers away in Bor Town. Despite the distance, the construction team's determination and unwavering commitment ensured that the necessary materials were brought to the site, keeping the project on track.

Towards Completion: As the construction of the Excel Empowerment Centre nears completion, the excitement and anticipation in the local community are palpable. This facility promises to be a hub of empowerment, education, and community development, thanks to the relentless efforts of the dedicated construction team led by Engineer James Nyok and Project Engineer Noble Leek.

With its strong foundation, exceptional quality, and innovative solutions, the Excel Empowerment Centre is poised to stand as a symbol of resilience and progress in Jonglei, South Sudan. As the finishing touches are added to this remarkable project, the entire community eagerly awaits the positive impact it will undoubtedly bring.

Stay tuned for more updates as the Excel Empowerment Centre prepares to open its doors and change lives for the better. This project is a testament to what can be achieved when determination, expertise, and a commitment to excellence come together for the greater good.
