On 17 March 2014, Somaliland Sun reported a ministry-led feasibility survey for runway expansion and hangars at Burao airport.
Goobjoog News reported on 2014-12-30 that a foundation stone was laid for a Mahas district hospital planned with 25 rooms, two halls and an operating theatre.

Soil sampling on a Hargeisa build starts with who takes the sample, how deep, and where the test results go before any foundation concrete is placed.
Ground and FoundationsBosaso
Attendance records do not prove a crew can set out boundaries in Bosaso. Check the instrument, the record and a re-measured corner.
Ground and FoundationsBosaso
Limited site level survey experience in Bosaso can set floor levels and drainage falls wrong. Here is how to check the survey before work starts.
Ground and FoundationsBosaso
A certificate proves attendance, not competence. Ask for logs, a test pit, and a written method statement before you trust a groundwater report.
Ground and FoundationsBosaso
Limited bearing capacity experience on a Bosaso build shows up in shallow, undersized foundations. Here is how clients and site engineers catch it early.
Ground and FoundationsQardho
A utility detection bid that is priced too low often means cable and pipe runs go unmarked. Ask what was scanned, how, and what records exist.
Ground and FoundationsBosaso
Ask for the detection record before digging starts: which tool, which lines, who marked them, and who checked the marks.
Ground and FoundationsQardho
A bid claims boundary setting out competence. Before you accept it, ask for the setting out records: control, booking sheets and closures.
Ground and FoundationsGarowe
Ask for the survey method, the runoff paths it mapped and the test records behind it before you accept any drainage survey claim in Garowe.
Ground and FoundationsGarowe
Weak supervision of boundary setting out in Garowe can shift a whole building off its plot. Check the pegs, the baseline and the records before concrete.
Attendance certificates do not prove a locator can trace buried services in Burao. Know the utility detection training gaps and how to close them.
Ground and FoundationsHargeisa
Limited utility detection experience in Hargeisa can mean struck cables, flooded trenches and disputes. Here is how to spot the gap before the machine starts.
Ground and FoundationsGabiley
Attendance at drainage survey training in Gabiley does not prove a crew can trace runoff paths, so check the survey records before you build.
Limited drainage survey experience in Burao means runoff paths go unmapped and water reaches foundations, courts and stores in the Gu and Deyr rains.
Ground and FoundationsGabiley
Limited boundary setting out experience on a Gabiley plot shows up late as shifted walls, rework and neighbour disputes. Check method and records first.
Ground and FoundationsHargeisa
Attendance at a site level survey course in Hargeisa does not prove a worker can set a benchmark or read a level. Check the record, not the certificate.
Attendance at a rock excavation course proves nothing on its own. What matters is assessed, signed-off practical work on plant and rock in Burao.
Ground and FoundationsHargeisa
A bidder can look capable on paper while the crew has never broken rock. Check plant, method and test records before work starts.
Ground and FoundationsGabiley
Attendance at a fill identification course does not prove a worker can classify a sample. Ask for a supervised practical assessment before the fill is placed.
Fill identification experience gaps in Burao let unsuitable material pass as fill. Check records, watch the tests and decide before placement.
Ground and FoundationsGabiley
A weak groundwater assessment hides the water table and can flood Gabiley excavations. Ask for borehole logs, water strikes and a written method statement.
Ground and FoundationsHargeisa
Classroom attendance does not prove a soil technician can pick a sample depth, seal a bag or flag a weak layer. Check the records.
