- 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%

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
We do link clients to affordable accredited installers
Very interesting. Please share more info I’m at this stage as well so any cost and/or time savings is welcome.
Following keenly
so it is cheaper then- i mean affordable at all? congratulations in ujenzi! @@OgachoJoshua
150 years ago clay tiles were used.
following this with alot of interest. never heard of it before Kibarus vids
Just use hollowcore floor slab/beams with longer spans available. use CMU foundation on grade beams.I do engineering in USA
Share your social media page. I have some questions.
After the beams are installed, how is the vacuum left below the floor covered? I love to know more of this
I don't think they cover it
Vacum left to avoid molds n cold on the floor

Very strong .

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
can beam flooring be utilised when you are building a bungalow
Works on any story building over 10 floors
Looks expensive to me.
What's the leveling machine called
