What Was the Scope of This Large-Scale Power Plant Relocation Project?
In July 2024, Heavy Industry Logistics Ltd, undertook the complex relocation of the Kipevu II diesel power plant from Mombasa, Kenya, to two separate destinations: Senegal and Mali. The project was a landmark example of project logistics excellence, showcasing advanced planning, coordination, and execution.
How Did the XLProjects Member Execute the Move?
