Last Friday in Dar es Salaam, a group of engineers from across the Zanzibar and Tanzania successfully concluded an intensive five-day professional training on ProtaStructure 2026 for Structural BIM Design, under the accreditation of Engineers Registration Board. It has gathered structural engineers, academicians, and technical professionals eager to strengthen their expertise in BIM for structural engineering, an approach that is increasingly shaping the future of construction industry.

The training attracted professionals from several forward-looking institutions and companies across the United Republic Tanzania. Among the participants were engineers representing: Zanzibar Housing Corporation, Arusha Technical College, Sokoine University of Agriculture, and others. Together with engineers from consulting firms, construction companies, and academic institutions, the participants formed a dynamic learning environment focused on strengthening digital structural design capabilities within the country. This diversity of participants fostered valuable discussions on real engineering challenges and how modern BIM-based structural analysis and design tools can improve efficiency, collaboration, and accuracy in engineering projects.

The training was led by Godfrey Mgwasa, Senior Civil Engineer at Nziza Global Tanzania. With extensive experience in civil engineering and BIM-based design workflows. He guided participants through a comprehensive learning experience covering both theoretical concepts and hands-on practical applications. Throughout the program, engineers worked on practical design scenarios using ProtaStructure 2026, a powerful BIM-based structural design and analysis platform widely used by structural engineers around the world.
The successful completion of this training marks another step toward accelerating BIM adoption in structural engineering practices across Tanzania. As the construction industry continues to evolve toward digital workflows, tools such as ProtaStructure allow engineers to improve design accuracy, reduce coordination errors between disciplines, optimize structural performance, and deliver projects faster and more efficiently Through initiatives like this, Nziza Global continues to support engineers, institutions, and construction companies in adopting modern digital engineering technologies that align with global industry standards.
