Line 1 replacement project, Kenya
Name and Location
Line 1 replacement project, Kenya.
Client
Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC).
Project Description
The Mombasa-Nairobi multiproduct pipeline (Line 1) was commissioned in 1978 and is about 449.1 km long.

The pipeline is operated by running either one pump set or two pump sets per station, depending on the demand for product.

The loan limit has been set at between $400-million and $500-million.

The company’s bid came in at $484.5-million.
Zakhem overcame stiff competition from seven shortlisted firms, scoring 95.5% in the technical and financial evaluations of the bids. However, the firm will have to wait for the conclusion of a court case disputing the manner in which KPC handled the award of the tender, before the contract can be signed.
