Bungwe la Foundation for the Renewal of Tigray (EFFORT) lasayina pangano ndi kampani ya uinjiniya yaku China ya ECE Engineering kuti amange chomera choyamba cha PVC resin (polyvinyl chloride) m'boma la Alato ku Mekele, likulu la boma la Tigray, pamtengo wa 5 biliyoni Birr (US$250 miliyoni pamitengo yosinthira ndalama yomwe ilipo).
Kontrakitala ya EPC, yomwe idasainidwa dzulo ku Sheraton Addis Hotel, idaperekedwa pambuyo pa njira yayitali yopezera ntchito yomwe idayamba mu 2012. Pambuyo pake ntchitoyi idaperekedwanso kangapo panganolo lisanaperekedwe ku ECE, yomwe idavomereza kumaliza ntchitoyi mkati mwa miyezi 30 kuyambira pomwe ntchito idayamba.
Chomerachi chikuyembekezeka kupanga matani 60,000 a utomoni wa PVC pachaka ndi mitundu yabwino kuyambira SG1 mpaka SG8. Kuphatikiza apo, malo opangira mankhwalawo adzaphatikizapo mizere ina yopangira, kuphatikizapo chomera cha chlor-alkali, chomera cha vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), chingwe chopangira PVC, chomera choyeretsera madzi, chomera chobwezeretsanso zinyalala, ndi zina zotero.
Mkulu wa bungwe la EFFORT, Azeb Mesfin, mkazi wamasiye wa nduna yayikulu, ananeneratu kuti pulojekitiyi ikamalizidwa, phindu lomwe idzapanga lidzawonjezera kwambiri phindu lonse la gulu lopereka ndalama.
Utomoni wa polyvinyl chloride ndi mankhwala ofunikira kwambiri m'mafakitale omwe amafunidwa kwambiri m'dziko muno komanso padziko lonse lapansi. Akatswiri amati mankhwalawa ndi ofunika kwambiri kwa opanga, makamaka mafakitale apulasitiki ku Ethiopia. Pakadali pano, ndalama zambiri zakunja zimagwiritsidwa ntchito poitanitsa zinthuzi, makamaka kuchokera kumayiko omwe amapanga mafuta, chifukwa zimatha kupangidwanso kuchokera ku mafuta osakonzedwa.
PVC yolimba imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ngati mapaipi amadzimadzi pochepetsa kuuma, pomwe PVC yamadzimadzi ingagwiritsidwenso ntchito popaka zingwe ndi njira zina zopangira.
Azeb adati lingaliro la fakitale linali la mwamuna wake ndipo akusangalala kuti ntchitoyi yakwaniritsidwa. Anatinso SUR ndi Mesfin Engineering zitenga gawo lofunika kwambiri pa ntchito yomanga pulojekitiyi komanso kumalizidwa bwino.
Malo a polojekitiyi ali ndi miyala yambiri yamchere, yomwe ndi chinthu chofunikira kwambiri pa zomera za PVC resin.
