Engineering company, Zutari Kenya Ltd is set to get a grip of the East African market after it officially registered with the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) in civil and electrical engineering disciplines.
The company’s flagship projects to date include design and management services to support Scania to build the first of 15 global service centres in Nairobi, comprising an extensive warehouse complex, service pits, and offices.
Zutari has also provided services to the East African Community (EAC) Transport Master Plan and was tasked to develop a unified transport and regional road sector development programme for the EAC – the region is served by an extensive road, rail, lake, and pipeline transportation network, as well as two major seaports and several international airports.
“East Africa has long been identified as a growth area for Zutari, with Kenya at the centre of our expansion initiatives into the region,” says Zutari CEO Teddy Daka.
In recent years, Kenya has placed more emphasis on how engineering companies and consultants operate locally thanks to the Kenyan Engineers Act (2011). To ensure compliance to the Act, these organisations must be registered with the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK).
“We are proud of the impact our Nairobi office has unlocked through its many infrastructure feats over multiple decades of operating in Kenya. These still stand proudly across all of Kenya, a testament to the enduring power of infrastructure to create the kind of change the world needs today,” comments Paul Lombard, Regional Director of East Africa, Zutari.
In 2017, Zutari was appointed as an implementation support consultant for a sub-component of the Kenya Water Security and Climate Resilience Project, Phase 1 (KWSCRP-1), funded by the World Bank. The project is aimed at financing critical investments in the water sector in Kenya, promoting sustained investment, and building an enabling legal and institutional foundation.
