Bugesera international Airport/ UMC JV
supply of timber, supply of premium plywood marine boards
Supply and delivery of high-density structural construction timber and premium WBP (Water Boiled Proof) phenolic marine plywood to UMC JV, the joint venture executing the construction of the new Bugesera International Airport. This supply operation feeds into high-load structural formwork, heavy concrete shuttering, and scaffolding systems required across major facilities, including the main passenger terminal building, air traffic control (ATC) tower, cargo terminal, and maintenance hangars.
Project Details
Structural Construction Timber
->Timber Types: Sawn Hardwood & Seasoned Softwood framing beams.
->Dimensions: Customized section sizes ($2" * 4", 3" * 4", 4" * 4", and 2" * 6") for formwork bracing and scaffolding.
->Treatment & Quality: Kiln-dried, pressure-treated against moisture absorption, fungal rot, and termite attack.
->Load Rating: High bending and shear stress tolerances suited for heavy civil engineering applications.
Primary Site Applications
Heavy Terminal & Infrastructure Formwork: High-load shuttering for suspended slab casting, structural pillars, shear walls, and foundation footings.
Fair-Faced Architectural Concrete: Precision film-faced plywood surface ensures ultra-smooth finish across visible concourse columns and structural beams.
Scaffolding & Work Decking: Structural timber joists and marine plywood decking for multi-tier staging, access platforms, and elevated work zones.
Temporary Works & Enclosures: Protective site partitions, heavy-duty hoarding, and temporary workshop lining across active airfield zones.
Key Performance Features & Quality Assurance
High Moisture & Weather Resistance: Retains structural integrity during continuous concrete pours and variable tropical climate conditions without warping or core delamination.
Multi-Cycle Reusability: Engineered for high turnover (10 to 15+ reuses per panel under standard oiling and maintenance protocols), maximizing site material efficiency.
Strict Quality Verification: Every consignment undergoes moisture level testing (<12%), load testing, and edge seal inspection prior to dispatch and site offloading in Bugesera.
