Powerline construction · Zimbabwe

11kV and 33kV powerline construction in Zimbabwe

We design, erect, deviate and maintain medium- and high-voltage overhead lines for farms, mines, developers and industry, with protection systems and authorised high-voltage switching.

What our powerline work covers

Each line is planned around your site, load and route, then built and tested by our own field team.

  • New 11kV and 33kV overhead line construction
  • Line deviations to clear land for building, farming or mining
  • 132kV system design, installation and protection
  • Medium-voltage line maintenance and remedial repairs
  • High-voltage switching from 11kV to 132kV by authorised staff
  • Supply of line hardware, stay sets, insulators and conductors

Who we build powerlines for

Our project record includes commercial farms, crocodile farms in Kariba, precast manufacturers, land developers and residential estates. Line lengths range from a few hundred metres to several kilometres.

ZESA requirements

Connection and approval steps depend on the project and the utility. We assess your site and scope first and explain what is needed. We do not promise approval timelines.

Frequently asked questions

Do you build both 11kV and 33kV lines?

Yes. Our completed projects include 11kV lines up to 5km long and 33kV line construction, and we design and install systems up to 132kV.

Can you move an existing powerline off my land?

Yes. We carry out line deviations; recent examples include a 2.6km 11kV deviation in Mhangura and a 1.3km deviation in Beatrice.

Do you work outside Harare?

Yes. We have built lines in Mhangura, Kariba, Goromonzi, Darwendale, Beatrice, Marondera and Chitungwiza.
