Construction Equipment Logistics
Course Overview
This three-day programme covers the complete logistics lifecycle for construction equipment used in African infrastructure and mining projects. Africa is experiencing a major infrastructure construction boom, and the logistics of moving construction equipment from sourcing through to project deployment is a critical capability.
Participants will learn about construction equipment sourcing from international markets, import procedures, in-country transport to project sites, equipment maintenance logistics, and the management of equipment fleets across multiple project locations. The programme addresses the challenges of moving equipment to remote project sites with limited road infrastructure.
Case studies from major African infrastructure projects including road construction, dam building, and urban development provide practical context for the operational techniques covered.
