Construction Company in Cross River
Barracks, housing and a school campus in Cross River State, built with Compressed Earth Brick for a wet coastal climate.
Who builds homes in Cross River State?
Ipile Earth Synergy has built in Cross River State for the Nigerian Navy: housing units at Atimbo barracks in Calabar, and a school campus at Akpabuyo. Both projects use our Compressed Earth Bricks, and the Atimbo contract was a repeat award after the Navy saw our completed work at Kuje.
- The Atimbo contract was awarded after the handover of our Kuje housing units.
- Building at Atimbo meant working in heavier rainfall than at Kuje, which tested our method in a wetter climate.
- The Akpabuyo school uses colonnaded blocks with covered walkways that keep classrooms cool.
- Both projects were built for the Nigerian Navy.
