      I carried out Topographical Surveys, Engineering Surveys and Cadastral Surveys for the following projects:-i. Olympia City Special Economic Zone-Eldoretii. Africa Economic Zones, Eldoret, Phase 1 consisted of a 700-acre industrial park intended to house firms focusing on agro-processing and value add industriesiii. Radiant(40MW) and Eldosol(40MW) Solar Projects, Eldoret, Kenya. I was tasked with the initial land survey works in this two solar power plants. Each power plant sat on 300 acres of land which were adjacent to each other. My main task involved determining the extent of the forest cover that had to be cut down to pave way for installation of photovoltaic modules as well as medium voltage step up transformer Show less
