Client & Partners
• Client: Ethiopian Engineering Corporation (EEC)
• Project: National Bank of Ethiopia – 2B+G+15 Multi-Purpose Building
• Supplier: Mike Capital Imports
• Generator: 1,200 KVA Perkins (UK) Diesel Generator
EEC selected Mike Capital Imports because of our ability to deliver high-performance generators, exceptional engineering precision, and reliable after-sales support—all essential for a project of national significance.
Scope of Work Provided by Mike Capital Import & Export
1. Engineering Consultation & Load Assessment
Our team conducted a full site assessment to determine:
• Required backup capacity
• Anticipated load fluctuation during construction
• Safety and operational requirements for continuous work
• Future integration potential with permanent systems
This allowed us to match the project with a 1,200 KVA Perkins UK-built engine, known for durability, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

2. On-Time Delivery & Secure Generator Handling
For a high-profile downtown construction site, logistics must be precise.
We coordinated:
• Safe transportation
• Controlled offloading
• Positioning within a high-activity construction zone
• Compliance with site safety regulations
Every step was executed without disruption to ongoing construction activities.
⸻
3. Installation, Testing & Commissioning
Our engineers completed:
• Mechanical placement & anchoring
• Electrical integration
• Control panel configuration
• Fuel & exhaust system setup
• Frequency/voltage calibration
• Full test run under load conditions
The generator was then officially commissioned and handed over to EEC for immediate operational use.

4. Reliability for a National Landmark
This generator plays a crucial role in:
• Powering on-site machinery
• Supporting tower crane operations
• Maintaining stable power during construction phases
• Ensuring uninterrupted progress for Ethiopia’s tallest building
With this installation, Mike Capital Imports contributed directly to the timely advancement of one of Ethiopia’s most ambitious mega-projects.
Why This Project Stands Out
The National Bank Headquarters is more than a building—
It is a symbol of national growth, modernization, and engineering ambition.
Being selected by EEC, one of the country’s most respected engineering bodies, reinforces the confidence major institutions place in Mike Capital Imports.
This project highlights our:
• Strong engineering capability
• Fast response & on-time delivery
• Access to premium global brands like Perkins
• Deep experience with large-scale national projects
• Professionalism and discipline on every site
Conclusion
Mike Capital Imports remains committed to powering the nation’s most critical and technically demanding developments.
Contributing to the construction of the tallest building in Ethiopia is an important milestone in our journey — and a testament to our reliability, expertise, and dedication to delivering world-class power solutions.
