Tema is Ghana's industrial engine: the port, the free zones, the steel and cement works, and the warehousing that moves goods across the country and into the Sahel. It is also home. GIWU Construction and Trading Co. Ltd operates from Mango Lane in Tema Community 12, which means our fabrication workshop, our teams and our project managers are already inside the industrial area we serve.
For clients in Tema that translates into short mobilisation times, fast site visits and a workshop that can turn around steelwork without a cross-city logistics chain.
We deliver warehouse construction, structural steel fabrication and erection, warehouse racking and mezzanine floors, prefabricated container offices, civil construction, mechanical installation and construction supply chain management.
Construction services in Tema
- Warehouse construction: steel portal-frame warehouses, distribution centres and cold-chain facilities.
- Structural steel fabrication: frames, trusses, gantries, platforms and bridges, fabricated and erected.
- Warehouse racking: selective pallet racking, mezzanine floors and industrial shelving.
- Prefabricated buildings: container site offices, camps, classrooms and modular facilities.
- Civil construction: foundations, earthworks, drainage and external works.
- Mechanical installation: equipment mounting, pipework, fluid power and commissioning.
All six disciplines sit under one contract and one point of accountability. See the full capability set on our services page.
Why a Tema-based contractor matters
- Mobilisation: crews and equipment are already in the industrial area, not travelling in from Accra at 5am.
- Fabrication proximity: steel is made here and delivered here, which shortens the critical path and makes mid-project changes far easier.
- Port and logistics familiarity: we understand the access, delivery and security realities of working around the harbour and free zones.
- Coastal corrosion experience: we specify protective systems for salt-laden air, which is the defining durability challenge in Tema.
- Responsiveness: site visits, snagging and maintenance call-outs happen quickly because we are local.
Sectors we serve from Tema
- Logistics and cold chain: distribution centres, warehouse racking, refrigerated facility fit-outs.
- Manufacturing and industrial: production plants, workshops, warehouses and mezzanine storage.
- Mining and extractives: site infrastructure, prefabricated camps, racking systems.
- Commercial development: offices, retail and mixed-use commercial buildings.
