Established in 1988, Hitech is currently one of the leading Building & Civil Engineering Contractors in Nigeria. In addition to headquarters offices in Lagos, we have regional offices located in Abuja, Port Harcourt and Bayelsa.

The combination of on-site professional management and office-based engineering, design and planning staff, equipped with advanced computerised facilities, has enabled Hitech to maintain itself in the forefront of Construction and Engineering Technology in Nigeria.

Ever ready to innovate and introduce proven developments in design and material technology, Hitech is able to undertake a multitude of Civil Engineering/Building Projects and have adequate facilities for the construction of:

• Roadworks, Bridges, Drainage & Concrete Structures
• Land Reclamation, River Canalization & Dredging
• Dams, Water Supply, Irrigation Schemes & Shoreline Protection
• Airport runways and infrastructure
• Demolition

In order to provide logistical support to ongoing projects, Hitech maintains a substantial fleet of heavy-duty construction plant and equipment in addition to numerous haulage vehicles sufficient to supply the material requirements of sites regardless of distance or location.

The substantive and diverse nature of the fleet has enabled Hitech to undertake projects of a magnitude beyond the capabilities of other contractors. A typical example is the bulk excavation and associated earthworks project for Nigerian Breweries in Enugu requiring 220,000 cubic meters of earth to be excavated, transported, deposited and compacted in place within a 3 month period.

Additional facilities include operational granite quarries located at Ibadan (north of Lagos) and Calabar. Asphalt Plants are also located in Ibadan and Lagos for all road surface requirements.

Finally in the pursuit of delivering a quality product Hitech completed in 1998 the installation of a pre-stressed concrete factory in Abuja utilising state of the art equipment supplied by Pourtrelles-Precontraine-Beton of France. The factory commenced production in September 1998 and is capable of producing bridge beams, piles, structural elements, lighting poles and similar products for the construction and allied industries.

By means of structured expansion of resources in addition to the timely adoption of innovative technology Hitech intend to maintain its prominent position in the Nigerian Construction Industry and extend operations internationally.

Brief Summary of Selected Hitech Projects

Eko Akete Development

The Eko Akete Development Project is an infrastructural development of a portion of land located along the Lekki-Epe Expressway. The land measures approximately 380 hectares.

Scope of work:

The initial scope of work as contained in the original master plan for the project consists of the following:

• 15.8km asphaltic concrete dual carriageway
• 38km asphaltic concrete secondary roads
• 66km concrete drain network
• 191,380 square meters landscaping and garden areas
• 380 hectares of bush clearing
• Perimeter walling with gates and entrances

Demolition of Bank of Industry

Hitech has been appointed by the State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, in partnership with the State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, as the lead contractor to demolish the partially collapsed Bank of Industry Building (BOI), Broad Street, Marina. This project is a first of its kind in Nigeria and demolition was performed by use of controlled implosion.

The acts of demolishing the BOI structure were accomplished by the use of both conventional and implosive methods respectively. The conventional method as usual involved the use of manual labour and mechanical machines. Non-load bearing walls were demolished manually with the use sledge hammers and diggers. The implosive methods entail the use of explosives installed in drilled holes round the lift shaft and in specified columns. Progressive collapse was adopted in order to ensure that the structure fell in the right direction and to avoid any damage to surrounding structures. Other preparatory activities included:

• Installation of wire-mesh fence to demarcate site
• Installation of geotextile scaffolding to protect surrounding buildings
• Assistance in pre-weakening of structures (drilling)

Dualization of Adetokunbo Ademola Street

Hitech has been appointed by the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to upgrade the Adetokunbo Ademola Street in Victoria Island. The project was undertaken in two phases.

The dualization of Adetokunbo Ademola Street Phase 1 (Bar Beach side to Ajose Adeogun roundabout) and Phase 2 (Ajose Adeogun roundabout to intersection with Lekki-Epe Expressway) included the following deliverables:

• Widened road to accommodate dual carriageway traffic
• Interlocking paving stone surfacing
• Kerbstones
• Median landscaping
• Road markings
• Excavation and clearing
• Layerworks, including stone-base
• Concrete kerbs (pre-cast)
• Culvert extensions
• Street lights
• Paving stones
• Manholes for electrical services
