This year, Trident Plumbers Limited is celebrating 35 years since inception. We look at the company’s journey to becoming one of the top-rated plumbing and mechanical services contractor.
When it comes to the installation, repair and maintenance of plumbing or mechanical services in residential and commercial buildings, one name immediately comes to mind – Trident Plumbers Limited.
For 35 years, this company has endeared itself to the construction industry by offering top-notch mechanical services for the simplest projects to the most complex. Indeed, one cannot discuss the plumbing landscape in Kenya without mentioning Trident Plumbers Ltd as a leader in this field.
The company’s full business scope includes Plumbing, Sanitary ware Installation, Drainage, Firefighting System Installation, Installation of Boilers, Sprinkler Systems, Ventilation Systems, Air conditioning Systems and regular maintenance of the same.
Established in 1988 and incorporated in 1993, Trident Plumbers Limited has built its name as a formidable force in the industry by cultivating excellent relations with clients, consultants and suppliers as well as being innovative and adaptive to new technology and new ways of doing things. The founders of the company are still guiding the company and providing leadership today.
Trident Plumbers understands that close cooperation with all parties involved in a project is crucial in order for the work to be completed on time, within budget and as expected in terms of quality, the reason quality is a core principle and practice in all projects they undertake.
Registered with the National Construction Authority (NCA) as Category 1 contractor, Trident Plumbers Ltd boasts state-of-the-art equipment as well as highly trained and specialized personnel. As a result, the company has been able to undertake a large number of projects ranging from multi-storey buildings, residential buildings, hotels, schools and colleges to factories and apartments. Others include hospitals, laboratories, warehouses and social buildings. The company has also carried out external water reticulation, external drainage, and installation of all types of firefighting systems including sprinklers.
From only 30 employees in 1990, Trident Plumbers Limited has seen steady growth and consequently continue to add employment opportunities into the economy, with hundreds of employees on its payroll.
Some of the major projects Trident Plumbers has accomplished include The Aga Khan Hospital, Standard Chartered Bank Headquarters, Fortis Tower, Parliament, Kenya Airways Pride Centre, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, ICRC Regional Hub, AAR Hospital, Two Rivers Mall and Morningside Office Park among many others.
Trident Plumbers makes every effort to understand the client’s requirements, build interactive rapport and provide quality materials backed by excellent workmanship and timely delivery. These qualities clearly set them apart from their competitors in the industry.
However, like any other business, the company is faced with various challenges that include increased prices of materials, delayed contracts agreement, delayed payments and inadequate skilled labour in the market. The company sometimes also has to contend with local substandard material that compels it to sometimes make overseas sourcing, hence raising operational costs.
Notwithstanding these challenges, Trident Plumbers Limited is focused on delivery and keeping its clients and business associates happy with its quality of service. The company appreciates that this is the only way it can continue having an edge over competition and remaining the natural go-to plumbing and mechanical services contractor.
