Technical & Electronical Equipment and Water Engineering

Jos. Hansen’s delivery programme concentrates on areas, which are particularly important for the development of economic and social infrastructure such as water, energy, agriculture, industry, geodesy, research, education and health. The range of goods being imported to African countries by Jos. Hansen are machine tools, specialized vehicles, water pumps, energy technology, geodetic and surveying instruments, laboratory and clinical equipment and equipment for educational institutions.

The need for potable water in Africa inspired Jos. Hansen to develop engineering expertise and to work as a main contractor to carry out water supply and sewage projects for capital cities.

Energy supply is as important as water supply, two pillars and essential preconditions for the development of the countries. Jos. Hansen's second expertise is power plant engineering.

Jos. Hansen and its wholly owned civil construction company JR International Bau GmbH have completed numerous capital water and infrastructure projects as Main- and General Contractors. Both companies are looking back to an almost 100 years expertise in Africa.
