Dott Services' corridor work includes strategic road infrastructure designed to improve trade, logistics and regional integration. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, the company was awarded works for the construction and upgrading of routes connecting Uganda and DRC, including Kasindi-Beni, Beni-Butembo and Bunagana-Rutshuru-Goma. These routes are intended to strengthen bilateral trade, improve movement of goods and people, ease business operations and support regional integration. This experience is directly relevant to UKAIS 2026's focus on building trade corridors, not conference panels.Kampala Industrial and Business Park, Namanve
A major example of Dott Services' industrial infrastructure role is the 2,200-acre Kampala Industrial and Business Park at Namanve, Uganda's largest industrial park. The project is being delivered through Lagan Dott Namanve Limited, a joint venture between Lagan Group Limited of the United Kingdom and Dott Services Limited of Uganda. The joint venture combines international standards and experience with local knowledge and delivery capacity. The infrastructure works include upgrading gravel roads to tarmac, water supply, sewerage networks, solid waste holding and treatment facilities, 33kV power networks, street lighting, IT infrastructure and telecoms.Namanve demonstrates the UKAIS 2026 investment logic in practice: UK capability, Ugandan execution, industrial infrastructure, long-term finance and production-led growth brought together to make an industrial platform commercially viable for local and international investors.
