There are growing calls from the Algerian government for more U.S. company involvement in Algeria's ambitious infrastructure plans. Below are examples of specific needs.
Energy & Mines
Electric power generation projects, renewable energy projects
including wind and solar, and modernizing/expansion of mining
operations in Algeria.
Agriculture
Slaughterhouses, irrigation projects and "cold chain technology"
used in Morocco to keep dates freshness and color.
Water Resources
Water treatment and reclamation, remote sensing and safety
systems for Algerian dams, and hydroelectric projects.
Public Works
Development of asphalt bitumen given the GOA's concern about
dwindling bitumen in country, and civil engineering techniques
& technology to realize Algeria's road construction in arid
and desert climates. The latter is particularly sought after for
the upcoming high plateau East-West Highway project which
includes 23 connector roads running between the coastal East-West
Highway.
Transportation
Civil aviation air traffic management and training, a vessel
transportation management system (VTMS) for the merchant marine,
and a new container terminal for Djendjen. The Ministry says it
has a $66 billion budget for '05 - '13.
