Our 2016 Review of Waterproofing Projects in Pictures

Our 2016 Review of Waterproofing Projects in Pictures

In the past year, the Government of Kenya has continued to improve and expand the infrastructure of the country. KNBS reported that the sector grew by 13.6% in 2015 compared to the 13.1% growth the sector posted in 2014 largely due to implementation of mega infrastructure and energy flagship projects under Vision 2030. Case in point, the Northern Corridor Transport Improvement Project (NCTIP), the Lamu Port and Lamu Southern Sudan-Ethiopian Transport Corridor (LAPSSET) have been attracting interest and financing from the global community.


The LAPSSET Project in particular will serve as a way to expand port access, will boost rail construction, as well as the potential pipeline for oil discovered in the country. See more at http://www.lapsset.go.ke/. The Kenyan Government has received support from the World Bank and the UN, as it plans to support the development of 150,000 new apartments for the lower class “squatters” that currently reside in slums. The Government is also working on the “Slum Upgrading Project” with UN Habitat, in order to better living conditions in the slums.
One of the key improvements in Kenya’s construction business is the involvement of China. Chinese firms have been working on multiple new projects around the country, which has caused tension among the locals, who feel that they are being deprived of such jobs. On the other hand though, the Chinese firms have continued to be relentlessly efficient, and thus beneficial to the country’s infrastructure. Also of note is the cancellation of the multibillion shilling construction of the new, modern terminal at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). The cancellation of the new terminal by KAA will prevent JKIA from increasing its capacity as was planned, which may affect players in the tourism industry and import/export business.
That said, what can we say was unique about 2016 in regards to waterproofing? Two words. WATER TANKS. The demand for waterproofing water tanks has substantially increased over the past year. This is due to the fact that individuals and companies have been building water tanks. This is largely driven by the shortage of water in counties and increased demand for water. The increased demand is stemming from the residential & commercial buildings coming up across the country and also from increased commercial activities. It is pretty obvious that water harvesting, conservation and storage is becoming a major priority among individuals and companies. Our products were also used in a couple of basements, flat roofs, piched roofs, basements and swimming pools.
The following pictures represent some of the projects we have done or consulted over the past year. Please note that not all projects done or consulted were captured in pictures.
