Weihai International Economic & Technical Cooperative Co., Ltd. (WIETC) is a Chinese firm specializing in construction contracting with a focus on international engineering and building projects. In 2012, the company generated $228.8 million from overseas projects, placing it among the top 250 global contractors as ranked by Engineering News-Record.
WIETC maintains a strong operational footprint in Congo-Brazzaville, where it manages 15 ongoing projects. One notable assignment is the $160 million modernization of Maya-Maya International Airport, which includes the development of two terminal buildings for both domestic and international flights, enhancements to the runway, and installation of a transformer substation. The company collaborates with the Congolese government through public-private partnerships aimed at tackling the country's housing deficit, a critical element in efforts to alleviate poverty.
Highlighted in the 2008 publication China Safari, which examines China-Africa relations, WIETC is recognized for its swift completion of infrastructure projects and its effective cooperation with Claude Alphonse N'Silou, Congo's Minister of Construction and Housing. This underscores the company's flexibility and strong local partnerships.
