@xysist Also known as a waterbar, I've used them in basements and underground tanks

Mwenye hukuwa na tender ya kutengeneza hizi vitu zinakaa tombstones is one of the few people with a thriving business in Kenya currently 😂

@Nashon_Tambo My mentor once told me the reason why poor designs survive is simply because of the multiple factors of safety we employ in design. (from f.o.s in bearing capacity to loads etc..) For a design to fail it's extremely poorly designed and built.

@kevinkamaumucha Max recommended is 4 floors. Past that you're gambling with lateral forces (wind, seismic loads etc ...)

Visited the BRS(Business Registration Service) offices in upperhill and the service was amazing.
1.Working ticketing system(no need ya kutoa chai ndio upate service)
2.Modern office space with waiting bays
3. Fast service
Imagine if all government agencies were this efficient.

Quoting Vusi Thembekwayo from one of his talks.
"The problem with Africa is that we seem insistent on electing leaders who've never built anything and then we wonder why they build nothing"

They simply don't know how to.

Every video on my timeline leads to Alex Jones, regardless of language.

Is X artificially boosting his views by showing him to everyone?

I believe it's steeper not taller. Though it looks really nice, hiking enthusiasts should try this one out

[Eng. Kundu Achoka @mundu_useful]

This one looks taller than Mt. Kenya but because it is in dry (low rainfall) Kenya it never got attention. The white man concentrated on fertile lands. Otherwise we would be having Mt. Laisamis.

@cenas_j Let's appreciate the architects who always give provisions for ducts. I hate seeing those funny mouldings used to conceal pipes.

[Victor Mathu @Mathu_V_]

@kim_un_Jon @CPMMwangi This is bad business practice and very unfortunate.

[Nelson Amenya @amenya_nelson]

I visited Etihad stadium and I wondered how much it would cost to build such an iconic stadium, did a quick google search it cost €119m about 16bn kes. Recently 4bn kes was used for consultancy by the sports ministry let’s not even talk about the 100bn for SHIF system. It’s not a problem of money it’s a leadership issue.

The driving experience on this road is terrible. One time we almost veered of the road into a cliff while giving way to a truck which had occupied almost the entire width of that narrow road.

[Dan Odero 🇰🇪 🇸🇴 @DanOder0]

The audacity of KENHA. Splitting the single lane Magadi road with a yellow line to create a two way tarmac

[Victor Mathu @Mathu_V_]

@Nashon_Tambo Interesting, but i think you'd have usage limitations like only using the warehouse as a cold/dry storage facility. Hapa i'm not sure where you can have mezzanine floors or gantry cranes. Would love to know more about this concept.

[Victor Mathu @Mathu_V_]

@xysist Clients are willing to build a 100M structure, lakini paying 1M in consulting fees is where they draw the line. Make it make sense!!
