In the construction industry, block and beam technology is becoming the most suitable, safe, and economical method for building residential or commercial structures. Whether in the city or upcountry, you can use this technology for projects like cold rooms and underground water tanks.
Recently, we used our beam and block technology to solve a client’s dilemma in Narok County
Client’s Dilemma
The project was in Narok County where the client who is abroad wanted to build a commercial development building. She had been sending funds to the project manager, only to return and discover that no progress had been made.. This put her in a dilemma and didn’t know how to mitigate with the little time she had. So, she decided to take an active role in the construction process to finish all the work and return abroad. Her needs were;
· The functionality of the building
· Safety and quality of the building
· Completion time of construction process
An engineer working on her mother’s project in Busia County introduced her to the block and beam flooring concept, which she then decided to adopt.
Project Details
This project consisted of a first Floor Slab of an area of 205 SM; a 200 mm Thick Slab comprising a commercial building including Shops, Office Suites and Restaurants. The Building is located in midst of Narok town County.
BEAM AND BLOCK TECHNOLOGY – Ecoconcrete Solution
Our client chose this technology because it was quick and easy to install. The timely delivery of the blocks and beams saved her from curing the slabs and reduced on-site material theft.. All she needed was a competent site supervisor and a few unskilled laborers. The floor itself served as a working platform immediately after it was laid eliminating the need for shuttering or propping. The team completed the plumbing and electrical work once they finished the building, saving even more time. Within a few weeks, her construction project was complete, and she was ready to fly back abroad!
