Talanta Sports City Stadium

Kenya’s Largest Stadium in 37 Years, Set for 2027 Africa Cup of Nations

Bamburi Cement Plc is the preferred cement supplier for the ongoing construction sports infrastructure of Kenya’s Talanta Sports City, expected to become another iconic piece of infrastructure. Bamburi Cement has been supplying Powerplus Cement since April 2024 for the project’s foundation work, and will subsequently begin providing Duracem Cement—the greenest cement in Kenya —for the remaining construction
phases.

The $350 million sports complex includes a FIFA-accredited 60,000-seat stadium (intended for football and rugby) and athletic grounds built next to it. It is Kenya’s biggest stadium project in 37 years. When finished by December 2025, it will be a part of Kenya’s host stadium for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, a tri-state host event that will take place in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.The project is being undertaken by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) under the supervision of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the Ministry of Sports. Adding this magnificent sports infrastructure project to our portfolio of Kenya’s infrastructure building contribution is another feather in our cap. It is proof of and validation of our tried-and-tested high-quality cement.

Dongo Kundu

Ksh. 40bn Mombasa-Kwale Link Reducing Travel Time by 75%

Bamburi Cement Plc made a significant contribution to the successful completion of Dongo Kundu Bypass Highway, a Sh. 40bn engineering masterpiece connecting Mombasa to Kwale County without entering Mombasa Island. We provided high-quality cements, including Power Plus, Power Crete and notably, Duracem CEM III/B 42.5 cement for critical works due to its durability performance and environmental benefits, including its enhanced resistance to seawater chlorides and 64% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).

The project’s completion takes Kenyans 45minutes compared to the previous two-hours via the ferry.

Mwache Dam

Ksh. 20bn Kwale Dam Boosting Water Security for 2 Million People

Our Powerplus Cement is being used to construct the Sh.20billion Mwache Multipurpose Dam project (by the Kenyan government) in the village of Fulugani, Kwale County.

The dam covers an area of 250,000 hectares and features an 87.5 m high concrete gravity dam. It will retain 118 million m3 of water, increasing water security and climate resilience in Kwale, Mombasa, and Kilifi counties impacting over 2 million people.

Makupa Bridge

$42.1m Marine-Durable Bridge Connecting Mombasa Mainland and Island

The $42.1m Makupa Bridge is 457 metres long and 22 metres wide with non motorised traffic path. It links Mombasa mainland and Mombasa Island and was mainly built from the supply of Duracem CEM III/B 42, 5 which was fronted because of its unique durability attributes and suitability for
use in construction in marine environments.

Thwake Dam

Ksh. 82bn Rock-Fill Dam Powering 20 MW and Irrigating 100,000 Hectares

The sh. 82 billion thwake dam project is a rock-fill dam consisting of an embankment with a concrete wall face of approximately 87 metres High and 1.5 kilometres long with a 235 metres long spillway. Upon completion, it is expected to have a reservoir capacity of approximately 688 million cubic metres with a potential to serve approximately 100,000 hectares of irrigated land, generate and inject 20 mw of electricity to the national grid.

This project used one of our greenest cement’s, duracem, which reduces carbon emission and still maintains project durability and versatility in aggressive environments.
