🛠️ Scope of Work

🚰Fabrication & Installation of Steel Water Tank + Tower

  • Designed, fabricated, and installed a 10,000-litre steel water tank mounted on a 10-meter-high steel tower.
  • Applied anti-corrosive coating and anchored the tower on reinforced foundations.

Result: Stable and elevated storage providing gravity-fed water distribution throughout the Kenyan farm.

💧Construction of Water Reservoir & Intake Works

  • Excavated and lined a raw water reservoir to secure additional water storage.
  • Installed intake structures to regulate water flows safely.

Result: A sustainable raw water source for irrigation and household treatment in Chepilat, Kenya.

⚙️Pumping System Installation & Solarization

  • Installed a high-capacity submersible pump at the intake structure.
  • Automated the system with float switches for efficient tank refilling.
  • Solarized the system using Kenya’s abundant sunlight with PV panels, inverter, and controller.

Result: An energy-independent pumping system powered entirely by solar energy.

🏢Construction of Pump Controller Enclosure

  • Built a secure masonry enclosure to house the pump controller, inverter, and monitoring panels.
  • Designed with lockable access, weatherproofing, and ventilation.

Result: Protection of critical equipment from Kenya’s varying weather conditions and unauthorized access.

🔒Solar Panel Security Fencing

  • Installed a burglar-proof steel fence around the solar array.
  • Reinforced with secure access gates for maintenance.

Result: The solar farm remains safe and efficient, even in remote Kenyan locations.

🔗Installation of Pipeline Network

  • Laid HDPE pipelines from the reservoir to the elevated tank and across the farm.
  • Conducted thorough pressure testing for durability.

Result: A reliable water transfer system serving every section of the farm.

🌾On-Farm Water Distribution System

  • Designed a zoning network for efficient irrigation management.
  • Installed valves to regulate flow across the farm’s different cultivation blocks.

Result: Reliable, even water delivery throughout the farm in Chepilat.

💦Irrigation System Installation

  • Installed a hybrid irrigation system combining drip irrigation and sprinklers.
  • Configured to suit soil conditions and crop types typical of Kenya’s highland farms.

Result: Water savings with maximized crop productivity.

🚰Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Treatment System
