SMEC secures Tatu City industrial infrastructure consultant contract
Engineering multinational SMEC on June 2 said it had been appointed as infrastructure consultant for the second phase of Tatu Industrial Park, which is part of the 5 000-acre special economic zone Tatu City outside Nairobi, in Kenya.
SMEC will oversee the design, tender processing and construction of infrastructure. The scope of infrastructure works includes roads, storm drainage, street lighting, water distribution pipelines and wastewater reticulation, electrical networks and information and communications technology.
Work on the multimillion-shilling contract has started and is expected to be completed by the end of May 2022.
Tatu Industrial Park Phase 1 is 90% sold.
In Tatu Industrial Park Phase 2, Kenya Wine Agencies, majority owned by Distell of South Africa, broke ground in February on a state-of-the-art KSh4-billion production and distribution facility.
Tatu Industrial Park is a fast-growing new industrial zone in Kenya and East Africa, and hosts more than 60 local, regional and multinational businesses.
“Following a highly competitive selection process, we appointed SMEC due to its expertise and commitment to excellent service delivery across small and megaprojects worldwide.
"Our partnership with SMEC underpins our commitment to expand Tatu City’s international standard infrastructure to the second phase of Tatu Industrial Park,” said Tatu City project manager Samuel Gathukia.
SMEC has worked extensively in Kenya on projects that include the Kenya Power Transmission System Improvement Project and Dandora Sewage Treatment, the company said.
“We are delighted to start work at Tatu Industrial Park Phase 2 and to be part of a new city development that has catalysed more than $1-billion of investment in Kenya in the last four years alone,” said SMEC Social & Urban Development Africa GM Dave Duke.
