Sector
Terminals, roads and port structures
StellarCosmic is the local contracting party for transport projects in Kenya. Our execution partners have worked on regional airport terminals and a 35 km road project.
Transport
Overview
Transport projects in Kenya
Transport assets must keep running while they are built, extended or repaired. Airports, roads and ports carry passengers and freight every day, often around the clock.
We act as the single accountable contractor. Our partners bring design, project management and construction expertise, along with corrosion protection for marine structures, which matters at Mombasa and along the coast.
What the sector needs
What a contractor must get right
Operations that never stop
Terminals, roads and ports stay open during works. Phasing, night work and temporary routes keep traffic moving safely.
Strict safety and security
Airside and port areas have tight rules on access, plant and materials. Every worker and vehicle must comply.
Hard-wearing surfaces and structures
Heavy traffic, strong sun and rain wear surfaces quickly. Materials must suit the loads and the climate.
Corrosion control at the coast
Port and waterfront structures face salt air and seawater. Steel and reinforcement need protection to reach their design life.
Passenger buildings must stay open while works go on. 
Road works need traffic management and careful sequencing.

FAQ
Questions clients ask
Can you work in a live airport or port?
We plan the works with the operator's safety and security teams. Access, plant movements, night working and temporary routes are agreed before work starts.
Do you take on road projects?
Yes, as the accountable contracting party. Our partners' experience includes a 35 km road project, and they provide design, site supervision and contract administration. We use Kenyan subcontractors and materials wherever possible.
How do you protect structures near the sea?
We assess the structure first, then specify repair, protective coatings or cathodic protection. Cathodic protection controls corrosion in reinforced concrete and steel, including marine structures.
