Constructing Weholite Excellence through World Class Facilities in Kenya
Megapipes Solutions Limited is constructing a factory for manufacturing Weholite HDPE structured wall pipes and products for WASH and other construction projects in Kenya and across East Africa. Work on the new Weholite pipe factory in Ruiru, Kiambu County started in February this year, after the county and national government authorities finally gave it the go ahead.
Built on a 5-acre plot in Ruiru, 25 kilometres from the capital Nairobi it is programmed to take around 12 months to construct and sees Megapipes collaborating with Kenyan powerhouses such as project consultant Mangat I.B. Patel (MIBP Ltd) and principal contractor Superfit Steelcon Ltd.
We are looking forward to starting production in Kenya, which is as a blue ocean of opportunities, and to manufacturing Weholite products that are made in Kenya, by Kenyans.
The factory will become a Centre of Excellence for the whole of East Africa and shall train local employees in plastic pipe extrusion, fabrication of Weholite products (tanks, manholes, packaged treatment solutions) and jointing techniques for the installation of pipes and manholes.
The purpose of this project is to introduce local manufacturing of innovative, state-of-the-art products. This is an effort to meet the growing requirements of water, sanitation and drainage projects in Kenya, contributing to the local economy and industrialisation process while avoiding importation of such products. Through our efforts we want to promote and support the government vision of “Buy Kenya, Build Kenya” because this investment will have a positive impact on the economy of the country.
Once operational, the factory will become the most sophisticated Weholite production facility globally and will raise the profile of Kenyan manufacturing to World Class status. It will be a business that the country can be proud of.
It is designed to have various phases starting with building a 4000m2 factory for the manufacturing of Weholite pipes from 800mm to 3000mm diameter.
Megapipes shall be the leader for sustainable stormwater, sanitation and water storage solutions, using innovative world class technology and unique services tailored to customer needs.
