President Jakaya Kikwete opens TPCC factory plant at Wazo.

The detailed design was then further developed by the main contractor, CBMI Construction Co. Ltd, member of Sinoma Group International, the leading Chinese Cement Plant manufacturer whose senior staff are from China who were well trained before they started the job at the site. The firm is a class one registered company by Contractors Registration Board and were the main contractor of the project which worked in collaboration with other sub-contractors at the site with their respective assigned jobs to ensure that all is finished as per the standards required. National Estate & Designing Consultancy Company (NEDCO Ltd), a progressive architectural firm based in the city of Dar es Salaam, were the project manager who supervised the work in all areas to ensure that all was set as planned. The development architect conceded that the fast track nature of the project required the main contractor and the urgency of the work who in turn completed the project and delivered it on time. Without compromising on quality or durability, the professional team were able to maximize space while minimizing costs in the development of this project. The style of the project designed for a factory is contemporary and has been designed to the State-of-the-Art facility in the utmost standards. It’s believed that, the factory is the best in all within East, central and southern Africa. The newly constructed factory is comprised of industrial workshops, there is a classical; security systems such as CCTV cameras, fire detectors and alarms. But these devices would be linked later on with the process control system from the main office building. No power generation facility is installed at this time. However, depending on the conditions the electricity power supply, this remains an open option. Generators from the existing factory have started up incase of power blues. Information Technology applications are already occupying a very important position in today’s businesses elsewhere like at the Twiga Cement. The new factory benefits from this existing situation. In addition to that, the State-of-the-art Control System from siemens CEMAT will be used for conducting the process operations thus ensuring a fast, precise and constant flow of information between the central control room and the production workshops.
