Services offered:

Oil & Gas

Civicon is the preferred EPC contractor in the region. Our speciality runs for over 30 years as we
have continually developed our expertise in this industry with particular emphasis on the
installation of pipe work, pumps and valves, heat exchanger vessels, fuel terminals and tank
farms, construction of oil pads and other related drilling, refinery and marketing activities in the
oil sector. We have undertaken work for all the major oil and gas operators in East Africa,
including the Shell operated refinery in Mombasa and are currently working with Total E&P
Uganda in their Ugandan oil fields. We are, of course, fully conversant with all the fuel company
safety policies and because of our own internal safety procedures we are able to comply with
such requirements as a matter of course in the execution of our work.
Civicon has built fuel storage tanks ranging from 10m3 to 15,000m3 including complete turnkey
tank farm projects. In addition to our oil industry work, we also undertake the erection of
warehouses and modular buildings plus general plant and factory installation. Our Mombasa
workshop has the facilities for the design and construction of specialised heavy trailers, many of
which are in use in our transport operation. This ability to build our own tailor made trailers has
proved invaluable in the growth of our transport business because often off the shelf trailers
are not suitable for the job. We also have heavy lift facilities either utilizing our numerous
cranes, or alternatively by skidding and jacking.
Our speciality is the ability to formulate well designed and carefully thought out schemes; where
alternate design concepts are explored and integrated into the clients requirements.
This ability to think outside the box and supply innovative solutions to complex problems is a
speciality of Civicon. This concept is well appreciated by many of our clients and the rapport
developed between the client and Civicon means that clients tend to return again and again, as
can be seen from our company profile. In some instances where complex lifts are involved; the
client uses Civicon as a nominated sub contractor; where overseas suppliers are then required to
use us.
Power
Kenya currently has a power capacity deficit whereby at peak demand there is insufficient supply
to meet consumer demand. The Kenyan government and the private sector have embarked on an
ambitious programme to scale up installed capacity in the country to about 2000MW in the
interim.
Civicon has worked with both public and private sector players (IPPs) on various projects and
has over the years gained valuable expertise with EPC projects. We have demonstrated the
capacity to deliver projects often in remote areas with little or no infrastructure.
We are active in both the power generation as well as power transmission and distribution as
evidenced by the many projects we have undertaken building geothermal plants, thermal plants,
substations and transmission networks.
Some of our clients include:
Ormat (NYSE:ORA), a NYSE listed company engaged in the generation of geothermal power in
the Olkaria basin.
Wartsila Development & Financial Services Inc, an IPP operating the Kipevu II and Kipevu III
power projects in Mombasa.
Kengen (NSE: KEGN), a public listed entity and the major power producer in Kenya, Eburru
Geothermal Power Station with a generating capacity of 2.3MW, an EPC project.
Rabai Power Ltd, an IPP operating a thermal power plant with a capacity of 90MW in the Kenyan
coast.
