Project justification

Tamale is the capital of the Northern Region of Ghana, the third largest city after Accra and Kumasi. Its International Airport was in need of expansion, as the city is the epicentre of pilgrimage to Mecca. It is certainly an opportunity for improvement for the city and its inhabitants. 

Scope of Works

In this project, the following work has been carried out:

  • 5000 m² terminal with the possibility of expansion; capacity for 200 simultaneous passengers per hour and direction; 8 check-in desks and 4 self-service check-in desks; 2 boarding gates.
  • Airport Management System and Equipment for integrated passenger and baggage handling.
  • Multi-purpose building of 1,000 m², with capacity to accommodate pilgrims travelling to Mecca during the Hajj season; as well as fairs, congresses and events during the rest of the year.
  • Environmental and social impact assessment, including permitting and a Livelihood Restoration Plan.
  • Parking.
  • Access and local roads.
  • Infrastructure suitable for large aircraft.
  • Electricity supply.
  • Water, electricity and sewerage infrastructure. 
Sustainability

We carried out the airport expansion in accordance with the IFC’s Environmental and Social Performance Standards. We are working with a clear purpose: to improve the quality of life of the region’s inhabitants, in addition to promoting the development of the country’s mobility and infrastructure.

Integrated Waste Management

At QGMI, we plan to adopt an integrated waste management approach, by assessing the various waste streams and adopting an approach of waste management. Our organic wastes are segregated, and a designed composter treats them. The result of the organic waste management can be applied to our reforestation projects.

Accugrade GPS Control System

We use a GPS technology to increase our productivity in earthmoving and grading processes. This Control System allows operators to grade more precisely and faster, which translates into higher productivity, lower operating costs, and a well-done work.

SAE (Electronic Monitoring System)

The Electronic Monitorig System was developed internally by the IT team, with the aim of monitoring the development of activities and working hours of workers and teams in real time, reducing access time to performance indicators for strategic decision making. The system, which is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, works via smartphone by reading QR Codes affixed to equipment and on workers’ credentials. It works even where there is no internet available, as data can be stored in the phone’s memory and transferred when there is a Wi-Fi or 4G network signal. It improves cost management, productivity control and contributes to environmental sustainability.
