01 — Water & civil infrastructure
Water infrastructure & pipeline construction in Kenya
From source to tap: we design, build and commission the pipelines, storage and treatment systems that bring safe, reliable water to communities and industry.
Water systems built for decades of service
Water infrastructure succeeds or fails on details: pipe selection, jointing, bedding, pressure testing and the civil works around it. Scabbard combines engineering design, experienced pipeline crews and civil construction capability to deliver water projects that perform long after handover, for county water service providers, government agencies, institutions and private developers.
Clean water, delivered further.
What we do
Water & civil infrastructure services
Water transmission & distribution
Bulk transmission mains and distribution networks that move water efficiently to every connection point.
Pipeline construction & extensions
New lines and extensions: trenching, laying, jointing, testing and reinstatement.

Treatment and purification systems that make raw water safe for drinking and use.
Water storage infrastructure
Tanks, reservoirs and storage structures sized for demand and built to last.
Sewerage & sanitation
Sewer lines, sanitation facilities and wastewater infrastructure that protect public health.
Drainage works
Storm-water drains, culverts and channels that manage run-off and prevent flooding.
Irrigation infrastructure
Irrigation mains and distribution systems that support productive agriculture.
Dam & water-pan works
Construction, rehabilitation and desilting of dams and water pans to restore storage capacity.
Infrastructure development
Supporting infrastructure that unlocks development for communities and institutions.
Civil engineering & construction
Earthworks, concrete structures and civil works delivered by an NCA-registered contractor.
Engineering design & consultancy
Surveys, hydraulic design, drawings and bills of quantities for tender-ready projects.

Our approach
Engineered joints. Tested lines. Proper handover.
Every water project follows a disciplined sequence, so the pipeline you receive is the pipeline that was designed.
- Route survey, hydraulic design and material specification
- Trenching to correct depth with proper bedding and backfill
- Fusion jointing of HDPE pipe by trained technicians
- Pressure testing, flushing and as-built documentation
- Community engagement and site reinstatement
