Large-Scale Water Storage Initiative in South Sudan

For five years, we’ve tackled South Sudan’s toughest water challenges, from climate extremes to limited infrastructure. Our work with humanitarian organizations, construction firms, and private clients has made us a leader in large-scale water storage solutions.

Client: Serving In Mission (SIM Sudan), East Afro Construction & Engineering, Chris Mission to the World (CMW Drilling), and 13 Private Clients

Country: South Sudan

Location: Aweil, Aweil Centre County, Northern Bahr el Ghazal State

Duration: 2020 – 2025

📌 Background

South Sudan faces persistent challenges in water supply due to climate extremes, limited infrastructure, and humanitarian needs. To bridge this gap, Champion Engineering Ltd was independently engaged by mission organizations, construction firms, and private clients to deliver sustainable and large-scale water storage infrastructure.
Spanning five years (2020–2025), this project became one of the most significant water engineering undertakings in the region, with dozens of sites commissioned and successfully handed over.

🛠️ Scope of Work

Design & Engineering

  • Developed custom engineering designs for diverse applications: rural communities, schools, farms, and mission compounds.
  • Covered a wide capacity range, with steel tanks from 10mÂł to 100mÂł and steel towers from 6m to 15m high.
  • Ensured compliance with international engineering standards for safety, durability, and performance.

âś… Result: Scalable designs adaptable to both humanitarian and private-sector needs.

Fabrication of Steel Tanks

  • Fabricated 68 steel water tanks at Champion Engineering’s workshops.
  • Used premium-grade steel, with advanced anti-corrosion treatments to extend lifespan in hot, humid, and flood-prone regions.
  • Tank sizes were tailored to client needs:
    • 10mÂł – 30mÂł tanks for schools, missions, and homesteads.
    • 50mÂł – 100mÂł tanks for large farms, community projects, and construction companies.

âś… Result: Durable storage solutions built for longevity in harsh conditions.

Construction of Towers & Foundations

  • Installed 61 steel towers (6m to 15m high) designed for gravity-fed distribution.
  • Built reinforced concrete foundations at each site, ensuring load-bearing stability and long-term resilience.
  • Factored in wind loading and soil conditions, given South Sudan’s variable terrain.

âś… Result: Reliable elevated systems, providing water access to wide areas with consistent pressure.

Installation & Local Collaboration

  • Installation executed in partnership with local staff from each organization and private client.
  • Champion Engineering supervised:
    • Erection of towers
    • Mounting of tanks
    • Connection of piping systems
  • Final commissioning included testing, flushing, and training for local operators.

✅ Result: Capacity building — leaving trained local teams capable of operating and maintaining the infrastructure.

📊 Project Impact

  • 68 Steel Tanks Fabricated & Installed
  • 61 Steel Towers Constructed
  • Project Timeline: 2020–2025

Clients Served:

    • Serving In Mission (SIM Sudan): Mission stations, health posts, and schools.
    • East Afro Construction & Engineering: Construction and farm water projects.
    • Chris Mission to the World (CMW Drilling): Humanitarian and relief-based water supply systems.
    • 13 Private Clients: Custom water storage systems for farms, residential estates, and businesses.
  • Community Reach: Thousands of households, mission facilities, and agricultural enterprises now have sustained water access.
  • Sustainability: Local partnerships and training reduced long-term dependency on external technical support.

✨ Conclusion

The South Sudan Water Storage Mega Project (2020–2025) stands as a milestone for Champion Engineering Ltd.

Delivering 68 tanks (10–100m³) and 61 towers (6–15m high) over five years, the project has impacted communities, NGOs, missions, and private clients across South Sudan. It showcases our ability to manage multi-year, multi-client projects in demanding environments while ensuring quality, sustainability, and local empowerment.

👉 This initiative affirms our mission to engineer solutions that empower communities and strengthen resilience across Africa.
