Logistics and network
Shipping to Burundi.
Consignments for Burundi move Sea to Dar es Salaam, then road on the Central Corridor to Bujumbura, about 1,400 km. Typical transit is 12 to 16 days to port, 7 to 10 days road; discharge at Dar es Salaam, then road. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Dar es Salaam on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 30 kV medium-voltage distribution; 70 kV and 110 kV transmission, 220 kV interconnection under construction. Distribution is operated by REGIDESO, regulated by Agence de Regulation des secteurs de l'Eau potable et de l'Energie (AREEN). Import conformity: Burundi Bureau of Standards (BBN) and REGIDESO technical specifications; IEC designs.
LT cable was the second product line the business added, back when it made only poles. It is now a 1,000 kilometre a month operation, and it underpins the underground cable work we are known for in the field.
Because we lay cable as well as make it, the specification we manufacture to is the one we then have to install, joint and commission ourselves. That tends to concentrate the mind on the things that matter — insulation wall consistency, armour quality and drum handling.
