WAP designs, supplies, inspects and supports. From study to commissioning, across the entire urban water cycle in sub-Saharan Africa. Intake, transmission, treatment, storage, distribution, sanitation, depollution — always with the conviction that an installation is only as valuable as it is in ten years.
A compact structure, founded by engineers with deep African roots.
Founded in 2018 by partners with more than thirty years of combined experience in pumping and water treatment in Africa, WAP quickly built a recognised presence in twenty-six sub-Saharan countries.
We are not a multinational. Our compact structure is our strength: responsiveness, competitiveness, one technical contact per project. No layers between the field and the decision.
WAP didn't grow by adding lines to a brochure.
WAP grew because its clients — you — kept asking for more. More than a pump: a set of equipment and special parts. More than a hydraulic assembly: a control cabinet. More than a supply: a pre-shipment inspection, a report, an optimised container.
Then came other questions. Can you treat the water? Store it safely? Depollute before discharge? Power the site? Each time, we answered by building the capability: treatment plants, storage solutions, wastewater plants, medium-voltage electrical supply.
Our craft expanded at the pace of your real needs.We listen. We build the answer. We deliver it.
Five words. Five commitments. What stays the same from one project to the next.
The right equipment, at the right level of demand. Controlled, durable, project-adapted — without unnecessary cost or technical compromise.
A bush site doesn't have the same constraints as an urban project. We understand the field before we propose.
We adapt to the evolution of every project. No one-size-fits-all answer.
Lean flow, fast shipping. Wasted time is expensive for everyone — starting with you.
After shipment, WAP stays present. Spare parts, assembly advice, installation support: you keep an accessible contact.
Five steps, five icons. The same rigour from the first brief to first water.
Four integrated capabilities. Integration prevents anything from falling through the cracks.
Design of pumping stations, drinking water, iron-removal, manganese-removal, fluoride-removal, disinfection and wastewater plants. WAP defines the equipment, sizes the hydraulic assemblies and proposes the right processes based on raw water quality, expected flow, climate and operating conditions.
Borehole water, river water, surface water or effluents to treat: each project has its own logic. Our role is to turn an initial need into a clear, operable scheme that fits the site's constraints.
Thirty years of field experience to propose the right solution — the one that holds over time, not just the one that passes acceptance.
Technical selection, direct factory negotiation, recognised brands and alternative solutions. For each piece of equipment, the right balance between quality, cost, availability and lead time.
Brands regularly selected: Grundfos, KSB, Caprari, Flygt (pumping) · Endress+Hauser, Krohne, Vega (instrumentation) · Schneider Electric, Ormazabal (medium voltage) · Sofrel, Siemens (telemetry and telecom — SCADA system) · Hibon, Atlas Copco (air).
Quality control, volume optimisation, third-party inspection, multi-modal shipping. This is our historical core skill: turning a complex order into a simple delivery, to the right place, at the right time.
Material received at the WAP workshop: wrapped pallets, cable drums, boxes and accessories in bulk. A few days later, everything is consolidated, labelled, palletised and ready to be loaded into a container. Drag the slider to see the transformation.
WAP doesn't operate only from France. Agents, consolidation hubs and loading ports are mobilised on three continents, with maritime, rail, road or air solutions depending on the project. Deliveries are organised CIF, CFR, CPT or CIP up to the project's commercial port or capital.
When the project warrants it — treatment plant, pumping station, complete SCADA / telemetry system — WAP travels to site. Supervision, verification of hydraulic and electrical connections, parameterisation support, performance testing, training of local teams.
Goal: the installation runs and the operators are autonomous.
Our craft is best seen on real projects rather than in an abstract description.
Specifications, site, constraints, deadlines. A project lead comes back within 48 hours with a first technical reading.
