In late 2012, SRK was appointed by HSBC Bank plc to undertake the pre-financial close Environmental and Social Due Diligence of the Cambambe Dam Hydroelectric project on the Kwanza River in Angola. This entailed a gap analysis of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment to assess the project’s compliance against Good International Industry Practice. SRK identified a number of critical gaps and compiled an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) recommending methods to close gaps. SRK was subsequently appointed to undertake a series of five ESAP Compliance Audits, tracking construction, commissioning and early operation of the project, through to June 2017.
