EQUIPMENT POWERCHINA SELECTS LINTEC CSD2500B FOR NEW

INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION IN TANZANIA
Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA), has
purchased a Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant
for its work on the New Dodoma Msalato International Airport in
Tanzania. The plant began production in September 2023 at the
new airport in the Masarato district, approximately 15 km from
the city centre. The plant is helping to build key facilities such as
a new apron, taxiway, runway, and auxiliary roads. At the same
time, construction is also underway elsewhere on new hangars,
terminals, firefighting units, and electromechanical installations,
as well as a new airfield tower.
Improving air transport connectivity: The project marks a
significant milestone in enhancing the infrastructure and
connectivity of Tanzania’s political capital and the wider East
African region. On September 13, 2021, the Tanzanian Government
signed a contract to construct the airport investing TZS 127 billion
($54.74 million) into the project, further supported by a $329.47
million loan from the African Development Bank.
The construction is taking place in two phases, with the first phase
focusing on the runway and terminal. The second phase will be
implemented based on demand and once fully operational, the
airport will accommodate 1.5 million passengers annually.
The project has reached the halfway point and is on track for size of 1650/1600 kg.
