STO Gives Engineering Students Practical Exposure to Construction Operations
- STO Construction Solutions organised a practical programme for MNU engineering students to mark National Engineers' Day 2026.
- Students toured facilities including the ready-mix concrete plant, Makita Showroom, and Nippon Paint colour-mixing operations.
- Participants visited an active lift installation site to observe technical engineering work under real project conditions.
Engineering students from Maldives National University gained practical exposure to construction operations through a programme organised by STO Construction Solutions for National Engineers’ Day 2026.
The initiative was designed for students pursuing higher education in engineering, connecting their academic studies with work taking place across the Maldivian construction sector.
An introductory session was held at the STO Training Institute in collaboration with MNU’s Faculty of Engineering. Students were briefed on the activities of STO Construction Solutions and the technical work involved in its operations.
The event was attended by MNU Chancellor Dr Mahmood Shaugee, STO Managing Director Shimad Ibrahim and senior officials from both institutions.
Students later visited STO Construction Solutions’ ready-mix concrete production facility, where they observed testing and quality-control procedures conducted in the concrete laboratory.
The programme also included visits to the Makita Showroom and the facility used for Nippon Paint’s colour-mixing operations. Students were introduced to the equipment and technology involved in these services.
Participants also toured an active lift installation site, allowing them to observe how technical engineering work is carried out under actual project conditions.
STO organised the activities to mark National Engineers’ Day, observed annually in the Maldives on 30 August.
