Kua hainatia e te Foundation for the Renewal of Tigray (EFFORT) tētahi kirimana me te kamupene miihini Hainamana, ECE Engineering, hei hanga i te tipu tuatahi o te PVC resin (polyvinyl chloride) i te rohe o Alato o Mekele, te tāone matua o te kawanatanga o Tigray, mō te utu o te 5 piriona Birr (US$250 miriona i ngā reiti whakawhiti o nāianei).
I whakawhiwhia te kirimana EPC, i hainatia inanahi i te Hōtera Sheraton Addis, whai muri i tētahi tukanga tono roa i tīmata i te tau 2012. I muri mai ka tukuna anō te kaupapa i ētahi wā i mua i te whakawhiwhinga o te kirimana ki te ECE, i whakaae kia oti te kaupapa i roto i ngā marama 30 mai i te tīmatanga o te mahi.
E matapaetia ana ka whakaputahia e te tipu te 60,000 tana o te kapia PVC ia tau me ngā taumata kounga mai i te SG1 ki te SG8. Hei tāpiri, ka uru atu ki te matatini whakaputa matū he raupapa o ētahi atu raina whakaputa, tae atu ki te tipu chlor-alkali, te tipu vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), te raina whakaputa PVC, te tipu maimoatanga wai, te tipu hangarua para, me ētahi atu.
I matapaetia e te Tumu Whakarae o EFFORT, a Azeb Mesfin, te pouaru o te pirimia i mate, ina oti te kaupapa, ka nui ake te uara ka puta mai i a ia ka nui ake te uara kupenga o te rōpū koha.
He matū ahumahi nui te kapia polyvinyl chloride, he nui te tono i roto i te motu me te ao. E ai ki ngā tohunga he mea nui te matū ki ngā kaihanga, inā koa ngā wheketere kirihou i Etiopia. I tēnei wā, he nui ngā moni ke e pau ana ki te kawemai i te hua, inā koa mai i ngā whenua whakaputa hinu, nā te mea ka taea hoki te whakaputa mai i te hinu mata kua whakakorea.
E whakamahia whānuitia ana te PVC mārō hei paipa wai i roto i ngā tukanga whakaitiiti, ā, ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te PVC wai i roto i te paninga taura me ngā tukanga hanga e pā ana.
I kī a Azeb nā tana tāne te whakaaro mō te wheketere, ā, e harikoa ana ia kua tutuki te kaupapa. I kī anō hoki ia ka whai wāhi nui a SUR me Mesfin Engineering ki te tukanga hanganga o te kaupapa me tōna otinga angitu.
He nui ngā rahui kōhatu i te rohe kaupapa, he rauemi mata nui tēnei mō ngā wheketere kapia PVC.
