Asphalt Institute of East Africa

AIEA was founded in 2016 to fulfill the gaps identified in flexible Pavement Road Construction sector. High traffic loading, Environmental Climate Changes, population growth dynamics etc has dynamic impact in models and scope of pavement design. Infrastructure development program in East Africa is currently leading in the sub-continent of Africa. East Africa's economy is growing in an unprecedented level and at this rate economic expansion must equally be supported with an equally expanding infrastructural support whether ICT, Rail or Roads just to mention the major drivers. With the limited knowledge on bitumen our industry faces the challange on how we have to build roads to accomodate this new parameters. AIEA is at the forefront to partner with all key stakeholders to solve this challange. We have set our gears solve africa road development challange with home-grown solutions. We hope that the skills we develop will not only be utilised in Kenya and East africa on a large scale but we hope that similar entities facing similar challanges will draw from what we engineer. It will be a pride to a better world of asphalt technology.

Asphalt Institute of East Africa (AIEA), the first and only private professional institution in East Africa exclusively focused in developing africa based sustainable pavement technology used in road construction. Our focus is to provide solutions to asphalt pavement material producers and paving contractor, government road Authorities and Agencies, county roads ministries and Pavement Design and Consulting Engineers. AIEA in collaboration with the Chemistry Department University of Nairobi is working on an lab services program, designed to privide for improvement on quality of asphalt pavements and paving techniques used in the construction of Rural Roads, Urban Roads, highways, airport pavements, and diversity recreational facilities. We at AIEA are focused on safe use of bitumen and bituminouse mateials for a safer cleaner and sustainable environmentally safe infrastructures. AIEA aims to achieve this through, educational programs, Consulting Services, and Research and Development initiatives to its clients.

Our collaboration program with the The University of Nairobi Chemistry Department will deliver opportunities for both students and professionals from physical sciences and Civil engineering and Geology with valuable skills in mastering bitumen as a key material in construction of flexible pavements. We hope that our students will gain experience in both Material testing, Designing with Current technology like SuperPave Technology and concepts of improving and modifying bitumen to meet engineering perfomance standards. Finally opportunities for research, Internships will form our core compitencies to grow a vibrant skilled practitioners in Pavement Technology.

AIEA welcomes county governement roads sector ministries to engage with us on customised training for development of county class roads. We have immence experience from our teams of pavement specialists having developed solutions for roads 2000 program. Our focus is capacity development and cost effective technology that fulfills sustainable development objectives.
