Introduction
BITUKIM proudly stands as a trusted Bitumen Supplier in Somalia, committed to supporting the nation’s infrastructure development through the delivery of premium-grade bitumen. With growing investments in roads, airports, ports, and urban development projects, the demand for reliable construction materials in Somalia is on the rise — and bitumen is at the core of that need.
Bitumen is a key ingredient in both road construction and waterproofing applications. In a country like Somalia, where coastal humidity meets inland heat, selecting the right bitumen grade is critical for performance and longevity. That’s where BITUKIM steps in, offering consistency, quality, and tailored logistics to match the unique demands of Somali projects.
Bitumen Grades for Somalia’s Diverse Climate
Somalia features a mix of climatic conditions — arid zones, coastal humidity, and extreme heat during summer months. To ensure durability and functionality, BITUKIM offers various grades of bitumen suited to these environments:
Bitumen 60/70: This is the most widely used grade in Somalia. It provides a great balance of viscosity and flexibility, suitable for road surfaces that experience a wide range of temperatures.
Bitumen 80/100: This softer grade is ideal for coastal cities such as Mogadishu and Kismayo, where milder temperatures and sea humidity require more flexibility in the pavement to prevent cracking.
Bitumen 40/50: As the hardest among the common penetration grades, this is recommended for areas with intense heat and heavy vehicle traffic. It prevents rutting and deformation under high temperature stress.
BITUKIM, as a knowledgeable Bitumen Supplier in Somalia, not only provides these grades but also offers guidance to engineers and contractors in choosing the right product for each application.
Applications of Bitumen in Somalia
Bitumen has a wide range of uses beyond just road construction:
Highway and rural road surfacing
Airport runway paving
Waterproofing of foundations and basements
Bridge deck protection
Roof sealing against coastal humidity
These applications are vital in Somalia’s infrastructure development efforts, especially in cities like Hargeisa, Berbera, and Mogadishu, where modern construction projects are gaining momentum.
