How EcoConcrete's Beam & Block floor is made

Have you ever wonder how EcoConcrete Kenya make our Beam & Block floors? Well you are in luck, as in this video our MD Gerald Taylor takes us on a tour of our Athi River manufacturing yard. He will show you how are our pre-tensioned beams are made to measure, he will talk about the testing we do, the safety measures we take and much, much more about how we do what we do.

This is innovative and incredible.

If the pre-tensioned precast beams half casted concrete until the neutral web of the beam and if you cast the floor with the flange of the beam a monolithic concrete formed to strength the ribbed floor. That way i feel comfortable to recommend b/c with limited tools test equipment and workmanship leads to unsafe construction. And also column curing time has to be maintained to proceed construction of upper floors and props has to be used untill the concrete reaches full strength through curing.

Could it be possible that you share a video of how load bearing and non load bearing masonry walls are built off the beam and block floor?

[@sheilaochieng2021]

Thank you for your feedback. We will look into creating explanatory content on the loading of the beam and block slab.

[@nthigax21]

Won't the blocks fail because they are not reinforced?

How can I get to you in Africa

[@kelvionthermal4885]

Can u use beam to construct tank slab up

[@girumgenene1046]

It should be solid slab
