Cement Grinding Plant Line II

Turbo East, Kenya

Scale

KSh 1.136 Billion

Status

Ongoing

SEC-01Project Overview

The Cement Grinding Plant Line II at Turbo East represents one of Civicrete's largest ongoing structural design and supervision mandates. National Cement Company engaged Civicrete to provide comprehensive design and construction supervision services for the expansion of their grinding capacity. Our team, led by Eng. Muturi Benson and Arch. David Matole, is responsible for all structural elements, regulatory coordination with the National Construction Authority and NEMA, and full project oversight through to commissioning. The project significantly expands Kenya's domestic cement production capacity.

SEC-02Engineering Challenges
C-01

Complex Industrial Foundation Loads

Grinding mills generate severe dynamic loads requiring specialised foundation design using mass concrete plinths with vibration isolation pads to meet equipment manufacturer specifications.

C-02

Silo Structural Design

High-capacity cement storage silos demand precise calculation of dynamic filling loads, seismic loads, and wind forces on tall slender structures in accordance with BS EN 1991 and Eurocodes.

C-03

NCA & NEMA Coordination

Fast-tracking regulatory approvals across National Construction Authority, NEMA, and county government required meticulous document management and proactive stakeholder engagement.
