MV Line Construction
Erected poles, strung ACSR conductors and installed crossarms, insulators, lightning arresters and line hardware.
Butimba Treatment Plant power infrastructure
A new MV supply system supporting dependable wastewater treatment and raw-water pumping in Mwanza.
Project Overview
Strengthening power supply for essential water services
KELM constructed and extended the Medium Voltage overhead network serving the Butimba Wastewater Treatment Plant and its associated raw-water pumping station. The completed arrangement included a 0.8km section feeding a 2,000kVA 11/0.4kV transformer and a 0.7km section feeding a 400kVA 11/0.4kV transformer.
The work brought together line construction, armoured cable installation, transformer substations, protection, earthing, testing and coordinated commissioning.
