06.00 THE PHASES OF PROJECT EXECUTION

06.26 : THE PRODUCTION UNITS FOR ITEMS MADE FROM GYPSUM COMPOSITES

The organisation workshops foreseen will decide where the gypsum composites production units will be constructed.

Consideration should be given to the distance of the sites from the gypsum or anhydrite deposits which will feed them. These site will be included on the maps of the project area.

The costs of locating gypsums/anhydrite deposits are covered as a separate item in the budget.

Information on gypsum composite products.
Preparation of gypsum composite products
.

One Moraisian organisational workshop will be held for the three production units planned together. Localities for the units will be decided in accordance with the local availability of gypsum or anhydrite or the need to import it into the project area. Indicatively one might be located in Nyanchwa, one in   Bobaracho and one in Nyaguta.
