Triad and its staff have wide experience in working on development projects throughout East Africa and in neighbouring countries outside the immediate East African region, namely Ethiopia, Sudan, Somaliland and Rwanda. Triad worked in Southern Sudan in the 70’s and constructed several development projects for World Bank and their associated projects and during the 80’s worked on projects in Khartoum.

In 1974 Triad was appointed by World Bank as architects to the Project Development Unit in setting up a veterinary project in Southern Sudan and this resulted in the construction of housing projects, an office building and several regional vaccine production laboratories at Jonglei, Yei and Boor. Various other projects for church organisations were undertaken in and around Juba during that period.

In 2004 Triad were approached by CARE to design work for their USAID funded educational project at Maridi and prepared type designs for secondary schools to be constructed throughout Southern Sudan. Tenders were called for the first phase construction project.

During 2005-2006 Triad have been involved with the survey work and preparation of tender documents for the rehabilitation of various military installations for the SPLA, funded through the US State Departments Programme. Sites have been surveyed in Juba, Maridi, Yei and Rumbek and contract documents are well advanced to start work on site in Rumbek. Of all practices working in East Africa, Triad have more experience in Sudan than any other practice and have staff who whose experience goes back to the 70’s who still work for Triad.

Triad’s work in development projects throughout East Africa brings in-depth experience to the medical sector and education sectors throughout the region and is particularly valuable to the development of Southern Sudan.

Triad as a general architectural practice provides full design services and project coordination and works with a range of other professionals – quantity surveyors and engineers – to produce information packages that can be tendered or negotiated with selected contractors. Triad also provides postcontract supervision from their offices in Nairobi and by locating staff in the field.
