The context
The transformer was delivered to EDD (Electricité de Djibouti), the public company that manages the production and distribution of electricity throughout Djibouti.
In a bid to anticipate and prevent, EDD was looking to replace an existing transformer that was showing signs of imminent failure. This transformer supplied a very densely populated village in the Djibouti sub-region.
The objective
We faced a genuine race against the clock after the existing transformer failed and left the village with no power. As a recourse, EDD installed a generating set but with a high diesel consumption rate.
There was a need to find a solution very quickly, so we were urgently called upon by our local partner. As this type of transformer is very rarely in stock, we were able to rely on the flexibility and hard work of the plant to produce it quickly.
We also had to manage the packaging, logistics and shipping to Djibouti.
A complete process achieved in record time.
