TURNKEY ROLLOUT
Over the years Fstep has executed hundreds of site infrastructure turnkey projects all of them enhancing its reputation and providing credentials for the development of its ongoing operations. Fstep was recently commissioned by a global mobile operator, the implementation on a turnkey basis of 65 sites located in one of most difficult to operate areas in the world, the North Eastern part of DRC. Fstep accepted the challenge to execute these sites within a very tight schedule in order to enable the operator to launch his services on time. One of the major challenges was to deliver the equipment (towers, generators, batteries, power unit etc) from different manufactures around the world to a remote and difficult to access region. Our experienced supply chain management shipped dozens of containers via Mombasa, Kenya and from there, over land- a journey that lasted 3 weeks (!). To handle the arrival of the equipment, and set up operations in this area, Fstep DRC established a regional project office with a warehouse in Goma, the region’s main city.
