Overcoming unprecedented challenges to keep petrol shortages at bay in Nigeria's Middle Belt
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had awarded Mantrac the project to deliver a turnkey power plant at a green field site in Southern Nigeria. Using only staff sourced from within Nigeria, Mantrac began clearing the forest cover of 25,000 m2 and constructing access roads, while the custom design and engineering of the petroleum power plan was being conducted to exacting specifications.
The generators were manufactured in record time — four D3516 generators at 1000 rpm, 3.3 kV with IP55 alternators — ready to pump petrol to Nigeria's Middle Belt. The generators underwent Factory Assessment Testing (FAT) with NNPC inspectors from the United States. Shortly after this time, the COVID-19 crisis became a pandemic and a nationwide lockdown was enforced. However, Mantrac received a special permit from the government to continue work with all precautions. Installation and commissioning was then completed by September of 2020. The power plant is set up to continue delivering uninterrupted fuel to the middle of Nigeria for years to come.
