MEKA IN TANZANIA FOR MEDIUM-SPEED RAIL SYSTEM PROJECT WITH TURKISH CONTRACTOR YAPI MERKEZI

The government of Tanzania has awarded the second phase of its strategic medium-speed rail system to Turkish contractor Yapi Merkezi. The line will run 422km between the city of Morogoro and Makutupora, on the northern outskirts of Dodoma, Tanzania’s capital.

Yapi Merkezi is also starting the execution of the Morogoro – Makutupora Section of the SGR Railway Project in Tanzania. The 1,924 Billion USD Project is the second phase of East Africa's fastest railway line connecting Dar as Salaam to Mwanza, known as the Central Corridor.

After their completion, the Morogoro and Makutupora railway is expected to make a major contribution to the overall economy of Tanzania, especially in the fields of trade and tourism. Furthermore, it will enable land-locked countries such as Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to transport their rich underground resources.

Both projects are being constructed with MEKA Batching Plants. For these two important Projects; 2 MB-C60 Compact Batching Plants, 2 MB-60M Mobile Batching Plants and also 3 MB-30M and 1 MB-100W which were used in another Project in Ethiopia met the concrete requirement of this railway Project.
