What we deliver

One contractor, from design to commissioning.

We take responsibility for the full chain — engineering, procurement, construction, testing and handover — so the owner carries one interface instead of coordinating a dozen.

  • Feasibility & FEED
  • Detailed design
  • Grid studies
  • Technical due diligence
02

Procurement

Tendering, vendor qualification, factory inspection, logistics and customs clearance into landlocked and coastal markets, with full traceability of equipment origin.

  • Vendor qualification
  • Factory acceptance tests
  • Logistics & customs
  • Spare parts strategy
03

Construction

Site mobilisation, civil works, mechanical and electrical installation, commissioning and performance testing, delivered with vetted local subcontractors under our supervision.

Delivery model

How a Kéru EPC project runs.

  1. 01

    Scope and cost certainty

    We convert the owner's brief into a defined scope, bill of quantities and fixed-price offer with a firm programme.

    Fixed-price EPC offer

  2. 02

    Contract and mobilisation

    FIDIC-based contract, performance and advance payment bonds, insurance package and site mobilisation.

    Signed contract & bonds

  3. 03

    Execution under one manager

    A single project director owns cost, schedule, quality and HSE, with monthly reporting formatted for lenders.

    Monthly progress reports

  4. 04

    Commissioning and handover

    Performance tests against contractual guarantees, as-built documentation, operator training and warranty period.

    Provisional acceptance

Bankability

Built to pass lender due diligence.

Most mid-size African projects stall not on engineering but on documentation. Kéru EPC packages every project the way development finance institutions and commercial lenders expect to receive it — and works alongside Kéru Finance when the funding structure is still open.

Kéru Finance →
  • Fixed-price, date-certain EPC contracts on FIDIC terms
  • Performance bonds, liquidated damages and insurance package
  • Environmental and social management aligned with IFC Performance Standards
  • Reporting formats accepted by DFIs and independent engineers
  • Coordination with Kéru Finance on project finance and PPP structuring

HSE & quality

Non-negotiables on every site.

Safety

Site-specific HSE plan, daily briefings, incident reporting and lost-time injury tracking from day one.

Quality

Inspection and test plans, hold points, third-party verification and full as-built documentation.

Local content

Local hiring and subcontractor development, with training plans agreed with the client.

Environment

Waste, water and biodiversity management aligned with national permits and lender standards.

Operating footprint

Teams mobilised from Dakar and Abidjan across the region.

  • Senegal
  • Côte d'Ivoire
  • Mali
  • Burkina Faso
  • Guinea
  • Benin
  • Togo
