Project management and interface

management are essential elements in
ensuring the success of construction.
Our project managers are experts in
project and interface management
during construction activities with focus
on delivering on time, to quality and
budget, meeting all specifications.
We provide support at the construction
site and at the manufacturers’ produ-
ction sites and we manage the supply
chain activities with logistics manage-
ment and contract and claims manage-
ment. Our people also manage and
supervise activities through manufactu-
ring supervision and site and installation
supervision at the construction location.
Finally, we handle testing and commis-
sioning activities.

2011-2012 Feasibility Study of seven potential wind farm sites Kenya

Client: Kenya Electricity Generating Company Ltd:
The overall objective of the study was to assess the feasibility of wind power develop-
ment at the 7 sites identified by KenGen in various parts of the country, ranking the
sites according to their suitability for wind power development, preparing conceptual
designs and conducting preliminary environmental and social impact assessment on
the selected sites.
To realise this objective, the following tasks were undertaken:
Phase I: Investigation and assessment of wind power resource;
Phase 2: Conceptual design, financial and economic analysis.
A training program for the clients’ staff on use of the software for wind data analysis,
wind farm design, micro-siting, and financial modelling of a wind farm was also
implemented.
