beam and block precast slab

precast Slab: the present & future of slab construction? 

The precast concrete slab is a reinforced concrete flooring system that combines ease of construction with structural integrity on your build. The method involves pouring higher strength concrete into a mould while under highly supervised conditions. The procedure prevents environmental variables from affecting the concrete and enhances the strength of the structures that use it. Where other materials would degrade, the precast concrete strengthens with age. It is highly resistant to potential environmental dangers and other elements. Moreover, concrete slabs require less labour, which saves the builder unnecessary labour costs, especially during slab construction.

Case Study – Diani Beach – Residential Housing

Ecoconcrete Kenya is a supplier of affordable building solutions using alternative beam and block flooring technology. We hope to contribute to the construction industry growth in Kenya through the speedy delivery of houses and buildings using our beam and block flooring system. We give homeowners, investors and even organizations a choice to finish their projects in time by intervening in the key area of their project, which is the slabs.

Garissa Mixed-use Development using beam and block

. Among Kenyan cities, Garissa is showing enthusiasm toward mixed-use development projects on its territory. More and more projects of this kind are proposed – especially in Garissa town and its environs hence the need for a new technology that will aid in solving issues search as materials theft and transportation to the site. This is where our beam and block comes in.

beam and block in Diani: a case study

The use of our precast beam and block system eliminated the need for the client to use Makuti for his roof. The precast beams together with the infill blocks, incorporated in the design of the house, will help to maintain the construction timeline. After witnessing the installation of another floor and feeling satisfied with the results. The developer is now using our beam and block flooring system in this and other construction projects in Diani. 

Precast Concrete Slab – Quality Assurance

How strong is the beam and block flooring system? In short, it is strong. The answer lies in both the tensile and compression strength and the curing process. Because our products are manufactured at our production yard, challenges that can affect the quality of our products during productions are avoided. The strictly controlled environment allows us to avoid these challenges, the most obvious ones being the temperature and weather.
