Revolutionizing Infrastructure at Tanzania Port Authority
Gyproc Saint-Gobain supplied the Tanzania Port Authority headquarters in Dar-Es-Salaam with 13 000 square metres of board for ceilings and wall partitions.
The Tanzania Port Authority headquarters is a multipurpose building, accommodating commercial spaces, parking as well as a conference hall. Completed in 2015, it is located in Dar-Es-Salaam.
The ceilings used 13 000 square metres of standard gypsum board provided by Saint-Gobain Gyproc RhinoBoard. With an aerated gypsum core encased in and firmly bonded to strong paper liners, this product is suitable for use in most system applications where normal fire, structural and acoustic levels are specified.
In addition to this, 3 500 square metres of Saint-Gobain Gyproc MoistureResistant plasterboard was supplied for ceilings in wet areas such as ablution facilities.
Saint-Gobain also provided 52 tons of Gyproc Projection Plaster Wall Finish plaster, which provides distinctive aesthetics to enhance the interior styling of any building.
The project was led by K&M Archplans architects.
Background on Tanzania Port Authority (TPA)
Tanzania Port Authority (TPA) is a prominent government agency responsible for managing and operating various ports in Tanzania. These ports play a crucial role in facilitating international trade and serving as gateways for import and export activities within East Africa. As a vital component of Tanzania's transportation and logistics infrastructure, TPA aims to continuously enhance its facilities to accommodate growing demands and provide a seamless experience to its stakeholders.
The Need for Ceilings and Wall Partitions in the Building
To meet the evolving needs of TPA's infrastructure, the organization recognized the importance of upgrading its facilities to optimize operations, enhance aesthetics, and improve overall functionality. A key aspect of this upgrade was the installation of top-quality board for ceilings and wall partitions.
