The Problem

The EPC contractor required a trusted local procurement partner capable of sourcing API 6D and ASME B16.5 compliant pipeline components within aggressive project schedules. Global supply chain disruptions post-2021 had created long lead times on standard valve packages.

The Solution

BKI engaged approved manufacturers in Europe and Asia, managed quality inspection (third-party), customs clearance, bonded warehousing at Kampala and Hoima, and last-mile delivery to construction spreads. A digital vendor tracking portal was maintained throughout.

Outcome

100% on-time delivery across 14 delivery milestones. Zero NCRs raised on BKI-supplied components. $6.2M in materials procured and delivered to specification.
