he world of engineering is constantly evolving and each new project comes with a new element of sophistication. This is the reality that engineers who want to remain relevant must acknowledge. Indeed when Eng Muhoro watches the captivating Megastructures documentaries on channels such as National Geographic, he admits the field of engineering is today about innovations and breathtaking projects and courage by Engineers to venture into the unexplored realm that is quite enlightening, often surprising, and unfailingly fascinating. “It is exciting to see cutting edge innovations. They open the mind of an Engineer,” says the Managing Director of Norkun Intakes Ltd. For Eng Muhoro, cutting edge innovations is the sphere that defines Norkun Intakes Ltd, one of the leading electrical and mechanical engineering consultancies in Kenya. Since establishing the practice together with two
other directors, Eng Muhoro was cognisant of the reality that to compete for huge jobs, Norkun Intakes had to be a practice that set the pace in integrity, innovation and going the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction. “Engineering is about turning ideas into reality. It is about providing solutions at the right price and in a sustainable manner,” he states. This is the mantra that drives Norkun Intakes. Founded in 1998 but incorporated as a limited company in 2003, Norkun Intakes is the brainchild of Eng Muhoro together with Engineer Wagana who is the quality control director, Peter Kimani the Technical Director, and Jane Waithera, the Finance and Human Resources Director. The consultancy has over the years evolved from a small practice to one of the most preferred engineering consultancy firms in the country. Today, Norkun Intakes is involved is May 2016
