Burkina Faso: Intercem races replacement transformer to Cimfaso plant

Intercem performed an express-delivery of a replacement transformer for Cimfaso in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The original main transformer of the Cimfaso plant was purchased from a local supplier during construction work in 2014. On 16 February 2017, this transformer was damaged due to an issue in the local power grid. As a result, production at the works was shut down.

To avoid high production downtime costs and protect their market share, Cimfaso (Cim Metal Group) asked Intercem for urgent help. The complete action took only 10 days from the first phone call to restarting production at the plant.
