The Numerical Machining Complex (NMC), based in Nairobi’s industrial zone, is a state-owned facility dedicated to precision engineering, manufacturing, and technological innovation. It supports local industries by producing machinery components and prototypes tailored to Kenya’s development needs.
The Ngethu Water Treatment Plant transforms raw water from Ndakaini Dam into safe drinking water through a rigorous purification process. It is one of Nairobi’s key treatment facilities.
Students toured the entire flow path, starting with raw water intake, then into the rapid mixing units, sedimentation tanks, filtration systems, and eventually the chlorination chamber. They learned about water quality parameters, chemical dosing calculations, and redundancy planning in utility operations.
Thika Dam which is popularly known as Ndakaini Dam, nestled in the lush landscape of Murang’a County, stands as one of the most crucial water reservoirs serving Nairobi and its neighboring areas. With a capacity of 70 million cubic meters, it plays a fundamental role in ensuring water security for millions of residents.
