Energy security continues to shape infrastructure investment across Southern Africa. In Botswana, this imperative has taken shape through a landmark project delivered by Trotech in partnership with Botswana Oil Limited (BOL). The initiative, based in Francistown, demonstrates how disciplined construction management and collaborative execution can deliver infrastructure that meets national objectives while setting new benchmarks for safety and quality.
