Projects
As of 2013, China Wu Yi oversaw 18 active projects within Kenya, establishing itself as one of the six leading Chinese construction enterprises operating in the nation, competing with both domestic and European firms.
Among its significant undertakings is the initial phase of the $1.23 billion upgrade of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, valued at $37.2 million and financed by Kenyan financial institutions alongside the World Bank. The company also contributed to the construction of a crucial roadway linking the Kenya-Ethiopia border town of Moyale to Isiolo, a $63.9 million endeavor supported by the African Development Bank. This initiative holds strategic importance as it completes a paved segment of the Cairo – Cape Town Highway.
Furthermore, China Wu Yi served as a contractor for the $360 million expansion of the Thika superhighway, which converted a narrow route into a 12-lane thoroughfare. This project, funded by the Export-Import Bank of China, reached completion on schedule in 2012.
A study conducted in 2008 by the Center for Strategic and International Studies emphasized China Wu Yi’s beneficial role in advancing Kenya’s infrastructure and strengthening economic ties with China.
