The New Dodoma Msalato International Airport in Tanzania is being built using the popular Lintec CSD2500B Containerized Asphalt Mixing Plant.
For its work on Tanzania’s New Dodoma Msalato International Airport, Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) has acquired a Lintec CSD2500B Containerized Asphalt Mixing Plant. The plant, which is located about 15 kilometers outside the city center at the new airport in the Masarato neighborhood, started producing in September 2023.
Key facilities including a new runway, taxiway, apron, and auxiliary roads are being built with the plant’s assistance. Concurrently, work is being done on new hangars, terminals, firefighting apparatuses, electromechanical installations, and an airport tower in other locations.
“Several factors drove our decision to invest in the Lintec CSD2500B Containerized Asphalt Mixing Plant,” says a spokesperson from POWERCHINA. “Firstly, we prioritize safety and reliability in all our operations, and with Lintec & Linnhoff’s German-engineered equipment, we are confident in the highest standards of performance and quality.”
Throughout the project’s production, the Lintec CSD2500B has been crucial in ensuring the supply of premium asphalt mixtures.
“In addition, the Lintec CSD2500B’s containerized design ensures uninterrupted operations despite Tanzania’s challenging rainy seasons, while its modular construction delivers cost efficiency through low transport expenses and easy installation,” adds POWERCHINA’s spokesperson.
Project Details
POWERCHINA has a long-standing relationship with Lintec & Linnhoff, having previously purchased a range of asphalt mixing plants from the company, including units from the CSM and CSD series. These have been used across a range of projects dating back to 2010.
Modular construction simplified
Built in ISO certified sea containers, the Lintec Containerized Asphalt Mixing Plants are the first of their kind in the industry, featuring a modular construction that allows for easy transportation and convenient installation. The Lintec CSD2500B model has a capacity of 160tph and a batch size of 1650/1600kg.
Additionally, the Lintec Containerized Asphalt Mixing Plants highlights sustainability with pollution control units and optional recycling systems. The design also ensures security with a central lockable access point, along with convenient walkways and staircases for easy maintenance.
All plants certify smooth setup by preassembling each plant at the manufacturing stage, before subjecting them to rigorous testing to ensure the highest reliability. With low shipping costs and streamlined transportation, Lintec provides a sustainable and cost-effective solution for diverse projects.
In addition, Lintec’s unique double screen drum technology eliminates the need for hot elevator and vibrating screens while reducing the need for maintenance.
Combining the heating and screening of the minerals in a single process unit offers the substantial advantage of delivering significant energy savings.
Growing success
Lintec & Linnhoff is a multinational distributor and manufacturer of concrete and asphalt products under the Lintec and Linnhoff brand names. It manufactures asphalt mixing plants, concrete batching machines, pavement-related technology, and specialized concrete cooling systems.
The Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant has been used on other major projects such as the Yap Island International Airport in Micronesia and the Sihanouk International Airport in Cambodia.
Lintec & Linnhoff plants have also contributed to some of the world’s most notable construction achievements, such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, the Palm Island in Dubai, the Storebaelt Bridge in Denmark, the Merdeka 118 Tower in Malaysia, and Singapore’s first Polder Project..
In terms of improving the connection and infrastructure of Tanzania’s political capital and the larger East African region, the project represents a major turning point. The African Development Bank loaned $330 million to the Tanzanian government, which signed a contract on September 13, 2021, to build the airport, investing $55 million.
The runway and terminal will be the focus of the first phase of the two-phase construction. When the second phase is finished, the airport will be able to handle 1.5 million passengers a year, depending on demand.
By April 2025, the project is expected to be finished, having already reached the halfway point. The most noteworthy accomplishment to date is the building of a runway that is 60 meters wide and 3.6 kilometers long.

Enhanced Commercial Vehicle Support Launched In Dubai
SMAG and IVECO unveil a state-of-the-art facility in Dubai Industrial City, featuring round-the-clock servicing, parts support, and pre-owned vehicle sales to meet the UAE’s growing fleet needs.
In a move to reinforce its operations in the UAE, IVECO and its local partner Saeed Mohammed Al Ghandi & Sons (SMAG) have officially opened a state-of-the-art facility in Dubai Industrial City. The new premises include a fully air-conditioned workshop, a parts sales and warehouse facility, and an IVECO Certified Pre-Owned sales center, positioning SMAG to offer enhanced service and support to the UAE’s growing commercial vehicle market.
The event, which attracted over 80 guests, including key representatives from the Ministry of Transport, local authorities, fleet customers, and the
press, also saw IVECO and SMAG showcase the full range of IVECO vehicles available for the UAE market.
Among the vehicles presented were the heavy-duty IVECO T-Way 6×4 Rigid truck, featuring a robust construction series chassis, and the IVECO S-Way 4×2 tractor head. The medium-duty Eurocargo was represented by both 4×2 on-road and 4×4 off-road versions, while the light-duty range featured the The Daily Hi-Matic, a versatile 5.2-tonne GVW vehicle suited for urban operations.
Strategic Location
The Dubai Industrial City facility, chosen for its strategic location within the logistics hub of the UAE, allows SMAG to position itself within close proximity to major transportation routes, Jebel Ali Port, and the upcoming new airport.
“We are one of the first major truck distributors to strategically position ourselves within the logistics hub of Dubai Industrial City,” says Ewan Byrne, General Manager of SMAG, during the opening. “We have a lot of synergies with other parts of our Automotive group including Oman Transport and with excellent road links to all major routes, relatively close to Jebel Ali Port and with the development of the new airport, it made perfect sense to increase the capability of SMAG & IVECO within the region.”
SMAG will continue operating its existing location in Ras Al Khor, transforming it into a specialized Daily van center, exclusively focused on IVECO’s renowned light vehicle range. This division will complement the new Dubai Industrial City facility, which will cater to a full lineup of IVECO vehicles.
24/7 Fleet Support
A major highlight of the new premises is the 24/7 operational workshop, designed to provide uninterrupted support to customers. Ewan Byrne emphasizes: “Our workshops and Parts
departments have been developed to ensure we have created a capability to offer a full 24/7 365 days a year total fleet support operation. With downtime and vehicle availability being top priority for many operators, having servicing and maintenance work completed out of hours was an essential offering in our new location.”
The new facility also aims to set a high standard for parts availability. “We pride ourselves on our parts availability rates,” says Byrne. “When we don’t have it, we can source it quickly through IVECO parts global network.”
Customer Satisfaction
Silvia Quaglia, IVECO’s AME Network Development representative, highlighted the importance of the new
premises in strengthening customer support. “The opening of this facility is a significant milestone for both SMAG and IVECO. We are focused on ensuring the best after-sales coverage for our customers, and this new workshop, open 24/7, guarantees that our customers can maintain and repair their vehicles at any time.”
This new facility in Dubai Industrial City is a critical part of IVECO’s strategy to expand its footprint in the UAE. By offering a comprehensive range of vehicles, from heavy-duty trucks to light commercial vehicles, IVECO is positioning itself as a key player in the UAE’s logistics and transportation sectors. The partnership with SMAG further strengthens the company’s ability to offer local expertise and customer support in the region..

Palm Jebel Ali Project Accelerates In 2024
Developed by Nakheel, Palm Jebel Ali’s seven islands span 13.4km, featuring 16 fronds and over 90km of beachfront.
Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding’s pioneering real estate arm Dubai Holding Real Estate, has marked significant progress in the development of Palm Jebel Ali this year, with the project progressing at pace to meet 2025 milestones.
The first phase of villas and plots on Palm Jebel Ali, which was launched in late 2023, sold out in record time after the masterplan was revealed, according to Nakheel, who announced the project’s progress. This highlights the enormous demand for waterfront properties, for which Nakheel is known for developing.
In keeping with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, the seven islands of Jebel Ali, which stretch 13.4 km and have 16 fronds and more than 90 km of coastline, signal the start of a new development corridor in the Jebel Ali area, highlighting the emirate’s expansion.
“At Nakheel we believe in developing dreams, inspired by the vision of our leaders and the hopes of our people,” says Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive
Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate. “The rapid progress we are currently witnessing on ground at Palm Jebel Ali is testimony to the grand success of our key partnerships and our joint endeavours to ensure we deliver on our commitments.”
In May of this year, DBB Contracting LLC was awarded the contract to build a new road serving Palm Jebel Ali’s core region. DBB Contracting LLC and Dutco Construction Co. LLC, both established by the Dutco Group, are among the leading civil and marine contractors in the UAE. When the new public access road is completed, it will provide a convenient and tastefully landscaped path that runs directly to Palm Jebel Ali and is more than 6 kilometers long.
In August 2024, Nakheel awarded an AED 810 million contract for the marine works on Palm Jebel Ali to Jan De Nul Dredging Ltd and work has already commenced on the dredging, land reclamation, beach profiling and sand placement, directly supporting the construction of villas across all fronds. The first eight fronds of the project
are expected to be site-ready by the first quarter of 2025, allowing for the commencement of villa infrastructure and civil works.
Three major contracts were awarded in October, collectively valued at more than AED 5 billion, for the construction of exclusive ultra-luxury villas on the first six fronds of Palm Jebel Ali, scheduled for completion by late 2026. The contracts, awarded to Ginco General Contracting, Shapoorji Pallonji Mideast, and United Engineering Construction Company (UNEC), marked a significant milestone in the ongoing development of this landmark waterfront destination in Dubai. It includes the construction of 723 luxurious Beach Collection and Coral Collection villas with exclusive beach frontage across six fronds in addition to the comprehensive development of world-class infrastructure and vibrant public spaces within the respective fronds on Palm Jebel Ali.
To ensure a steady supply of power to the development, Nakheel announced in October their partnership with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) for the development of two substations on Palm Jebel Ali, valued at AED 270 million. The construction of the two substations, set to feed the power requirements of a major portion of Palm Jebel Ali, is scheduled to be completed in line with the delivery of the luxury villas..
