Building East Africa’s Future: Inside David Engineering’s Steel Construction Legacy

From groundbreaking projects to sustainable innovation, discover how we’re reshaping the region’s skyline and redefining structural steel excellence.

Since we opened our doors in 1998, we at David Engineering (K) Ltd have grown from a small venture into one of East Africa’s leading names in structural steel construction.

In this feature, we share our journey—how joining forces with Tononoka Group elevated our capabilities, how we use cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices to transform projects, and how our 500-strong team continues to push the limits of design, fabrication, and assembly.

We also take you behind the scenes of one of our signature projects, the Skanem Africa facility in Tilisi—a 250-tonne structural steel build that showcases our ability to blend strength, innovation, and aesthetic excellence.

If you want to see how we’re helping shape the future of infrastructure—faster, smarter, and greener—this is a story worth reading.
