Engineering Uganda’s Growth
Uganda is building at a historic pace. The country faces a housing deficit of about 2.6 million homes and needs an estimated 300,000 new housing units every year, according to the US International Trade Administration. The government allocated 14.6% of its 2025/26 national budget to transport and infrastructure. In the Albertine region, oil and gas development is creating demand for industrial facilities, including the planned Kabalega Industrial Park with its oil refinery.
Every apartment block, hospital, hotel, factory and industrial facility behind that growth depends on mechanical systems that must perform safely for decades: reliable water supply, efficient drainage, dependable fire protection and clean, comfortable air. TPL incorporated in Uganda to give these projects a mechanical partner with the scale, technical depth and track record they demand.
