No need to excavate cotton soils suspend your foundation with Beam2beam™️ flooring system .

Topic 👉🏾Constructing on Black cotton soil in Kenya.
Black cotton soil is found abundantly in most regions in Kenya.
Black cotton soil tends to soak water during the rainy season and expand and shrink during the dry season.
This expansion and shrinkage creates up and down movements on the ground floor slab, resulting to cracks, wall paint peel off , due to moisture some ceramic tiles discolor and Vinyl floor (mkeka wa Mbao ) get black spots on Surface .
To prevent this cracking, the black cotton soil is either excavated at a minimum depth of 1m or the building foundation raised and suspended above the ground level.
1.5m minimum depth.
Generally, if the black cotton soil is more than 1.5m in depth, its uneconomical to excavate it.
This requires a suspended type of foundation whereby columns are dug till solid rock and protrude slightly above the ground level.
BBF flooring (beam 2 beam flooring system ) is the way to go to cover the suspended foundation .
BBF flooring eliminates
☀️zero Timber (no form works)
🌟zero Rebar use
🌟No 21 days curing ( BBF flooring system installed within hrs / day and start plastering works and brick works .
🌟Saves water .
Savings up to 50%

This is one big dream engineer

[@mr.ndirangumwaura9936]

This video needs to be much longer....i have so many questions...

[@daudidroid1210]

I have followed this technology for a while now since am about to build. Actually its new in Kenya but quite old world wide. I am speaking of 1980s. The challenge is that most of our fundis have not embraced new tech leaving only a few to specialize who charge quite a premium so you do not benefit from the cost savings

[@floordecorkenya9339]

We do link clients to affordable accredited installers

[@OgachoJoshua]

Very interesting. Please share more info I’m at this stage as well so any cost and/or time savings is welcome.

[@leaxem]

Following keenly

[@PrincePaulIowa]

so it is cheaper then- i mean affordable at all? congratulations in ujenzi! @@OgachoJoshua

[@guruofendtimes819]

150 years ago clay tiles were used.

[@gracenjau6905]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@guruofendtimes819]

Just use hollowcore floor slab/beams with longer spans available. use CMU foundation on grade beams.I do engineering in USA

[@Rough_estimation]

Share your social media page. I have some questions.

[@lloydmutegi6628]

After the beams are installed, how is the vacuum left below the floor covered? I love to know more of this

[@ricknelms]

I don't think they cover it

[@carolco2088]

Vacum left to avoid molds n cold on the floor

[@lecavie4648]

Query please like this particular project what were the costings of the floor on the ground, you have high lighted, can you give a difference with the conventional method

[@marvinkigame2838]

It looks cost effective for sure.. I am looking on saving time and cost. Kindly advise.

[@254NOMAD]

When the pipes will get broken which is unavailable? Will it not affect the floor?

[@carolco2088]

How much would the foundation cost on a 240sqf

[@janemungai6509]

Can technology be used in already suspended building for other above floors? Despite being cost effective how is it weight as compared to normal slabs?

[@floordecorkenya9339]

It’s light weight build slabs over 10 floors .

[@DAVID-os1ib]

He'll, very interesting technology. As compared to traditional methods, which one is cost effective?

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Ready to assemble slab is cheaper and a big time savior with predetermined cost .

[@johnienijohnie]

Ave just learn about this technology , my house is 3b bangalow and ave built foundation blocks already,am about to do backfilling which is scaring me, much expensive.can i still do this technology at this level?

This was informing. But why am I still skeptical? I see plumbing underneath, now, if pipes breaks, isn't repairing difficult? Thanks for posting. Shukran kaka.

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Asante sana HDPe pipes don’t break .Tech has evolved

[@applestoori300]

I'm very impressed Akibaru with this new technology,this is the way,I will try to visit ur office to familirize my self with this technology thank you

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Welcome 🙏🏾

[@KevinOnchwatiOmbui]

Kindly share your office location sir

[@nderitunderitu1459]

With this kind of foundation, is it possible to continue with the normal building block?

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Yes works anywhere

[@monicanyamu2207]

can beam flooring be utilised when you are building a bungalow

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Works on any story building over 10 floors

[@eliasritho2845]

How cost effective is it compared with excavations option?

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Generally, if the black cotton soil is more than 1.5m in depth, its uneconomical to excavate it. This requires a suspended type of foundation whereby columns are dug till solid rock and protrude slightly above the ground level.

[@polycarpkamau1244]

The depth of excavation is dictated by bearing capacity adopted by structural engineer thus it is not fixed in stone that you need to reach rock level

[@243ogomizzo5]

Hi ..how strong is it

[@floordecorkenya9339]

Very strong . Generally, if the black cotton soil is more than 1.5m in depth, its uneconomical to excavate it. This requires a suspended type of foundation whereby columns are dug till solid rock and protrude slightly above the ground level. BBF flooring (beam 2 beam flooring system ) is the way to go to cover the suspended foundation .

[@cinquegloballtd970]

..And where exactly is the cotton soil in this video......??🤨
