The company has ambitions to expand its operations internationally, particularly to other West African states, and has already tendered for contracts abroad. One of Hitech's most high profile projects to date involving environmental sensitivity and technical knowledge, is a sea wall along Bar Beach, on Victoria Island, Lagos. This shoreline preservation project involves the construction of a 1km-long sea defence to prevent further erosion of Bar Beach, which threatens Victoria Island - the downtown area of Lagos. Approximately 100 metres of shoreline has been washed away in the last 20 years. This is the first project of its kind in Nigeria, and the first in the whole of Africa to use advanced 'x-blocs', enormous x-shaped concrete blocks designed to dissipate the energy of waves.
