Imiyoboro ni ibikoresho by'ingenzi mu mishinga y'ubwubatsi, kandi ikoreshwa cyane ni imiyoboro y'amazi, imiyoboro y'amazi, imiyoboro ya gazi, imiyoboro ishyushya, imiyoboro y'insinga, imiyoboro y'amazi y'imvura, n'ibindi. Bitewe n'iterambere rya siyansi n'ikoranabuhanga, imiyoboro ikoreshwa mu gushariza amazu nayo yanyuze mu iterambere ry'imiyoboro isanzwe y'icyuma → imiyoboro ya sima → imiyoboro ya sima ishyigikiwe, imiyoboro ya sima ya asbesto → imiyoboro y'icyuma ikoze mu mabati → imiyoboro ya pulasitiki n'imiyoboro ya aluminiyumu-plastiki.

Hari uburyo butandukanye bwo gukoresha imiyoboro, ariko ifite amakuru asanzwe agomba gukurikiranwa - umurambararo w'inyuma, ari na kimwe mu bintu bifasha kumenya niba imiyoboro yujuje ibisabwa cyangwa atari byo. Uruganda rwacu rwashyizeho ibikoresho by'umwuga byo gukurikirana amakuru y'umurambararo w'inyuma w'imiyoboro y'icyuma igihe icyo ari cyo cyose kugira ngo harebwe ireme ry'umusaruro. Uruganda rwacu rwihariye mu gukora imiyoboro y'icyuma, imiyoboro y'icyuma idakora, imiyoboro y'icyuma ya galvanised, ibyuma bifunganye, imiyoboro y'icyuma, imiyoboro y'icyuma ikoreshwa mu gukaraba n'ibindi bikoresho, imiyoboro y'ubushyuhe, imiyoboro ifite amabara, imiyoboro itera imiti.
