You’ve probably seen those green nets draped around high-rise buildings and wondered, what are they for? 🤔🏗️ These green nets, known as safety or debris nets, play crucial roles at construction sites. Here’s why they’re essential: 1.Safety Barrier 🦺🚧: They catch falling debris and help prevent accidents, keeping both workers and the public safe below. 2.Dust Control 🌫️💨: They help limit the spread of dust and construction particles, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment around the site. 3.Wind Protection 🌬️🏢: The nets also act as a windbreak, reducing strong gusts that can make working at heights challenging. 4.Enhanced Visibility 🌇🔍: By surrounding the structure with nets, construction workers can better identify the building's edges and navigate safely. 5. Advertising and Information Displays 🏢📣: Construction companies often utilize these areas for signage, project details, or safety warnings, turning the site into an informative space while the project progresses. Now you know! Next time you see those green nets at a construction site, you’ll understand the vital roles they play. 🙌 #ConstructionLife #BuildingSafety #KenyaRealEstate #UrbanDevelopment #SiteSafety #NairobiConstruction

We all love summer, especially when the sun decides to make an appearance. ☀️ However, dry weather can bring with it a unique set of challenges on the construction site... For example, dust levels are significantly increased during this time of year, with dry ground kicking up even more dirt into the air from groundworks or vehicle traffic. With large-scale projects often taking place in busy cities or in the middle of residential areas, ensuring dust levels remain at acceptable volumes is key. 💡 Dust monitoring solutions can help, protecting the health and safety of onsite workers and local people, as well as ensuring you're staying compliant with the relevant legislation.

Keeping buildings safe from lightning strikes. As we specialize in designing buildings, we have learned a lot about keeping them safe, especially from lightning. A project we worked on a while back. We were building a big office in the city, and because it was tall, it was at risk of getting hit by lightning. To make sure the building was safe, we had to plan carefully. We used special equipment like lightning rods and grounding systems to protect it. We also checked the area around the building to see how likely it was to get struck by lightning. Here are some simple tips if you ever need to protect a building from lightning: Check for Risk: Look at where the building is and how tall it is to see if it's likely to get hit by lightning. Use the Right Equipment: Install things like lightning rods and grounding systems to keep the building safe. Follow the Rules: Make sure you're following the safety rules and guidelines to make sure your protection system works well. Keep Checking: Regularly look at the protection system to make sure it's still working right. Teach Others: Tell people in the building why it's important to protect it from lightning and what they can do to stay safe. Speak to us. We are going to help you get started! #lightning #safety

Importance of Construction Shade Net Worker Safety: construction shade nets provides a safe working environment by reducing direct exposure to sunlight, #heat, and harmful #UV rays. This helps prevent heat-related illnesses and #sunburns among construction #workers. Material Protection: #Construction materials such as #cement, concrete, and wood are vulnerable to weather conditions. Shade nets #shield these materials from direct sunlight and rain, minimizing the #risk of damage and extending their lifespan. Equipment Preservation: Extreme #temperatures and direct sunlight can affect construction equipment, including machinery and tools. Shade nets create a protective barrier, reducing the risk of #overheating or fading, and prolonging the equipment’s life. Dust and Debris Control: Construction sites often generate dust and #debris, which can cause disruptions, #health hazards, and damage to nearby properties. Shade nets act as a containment system, preventing dust and debris from spreading beyond the construction site.

𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬: 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 & 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 Maintaining buildings isn't just about fixing what's broken; it's about preserving their integrity for years to come. Here are some expert tips from the Drilmatic Infrastructure Division to help you keep your structures in top-notch condition: 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔: Schedule routine inspections to catch minor issues before they escalate into major problems. Check for cracks, leaks, and signs of wear and tear. 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑹𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒔: Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage. Whether it's repairing a leaky roof or sealing cracks in the foundation, proactive maintenance saves time and money in the long run. 𝑪𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆: Keep building exteriors clean and free from debris to prevent corrosion and deterioration. Regularly clean gutters, windows, and facades to maintain their appearance and functionality. 𝑯𝑽𝑨𝑪 𝑴𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆: Don't overlook the importance of HVAC system maintenance. Clean or replace filters regularly, check for leaks, and schedule professional inspections to ensure efficient operation and indoor air quality. 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆: Proper landscaping and drainage around the building can prevent water damage and erosion. Ensure that rainwater drains away from the structure and maintain vegetation to prevent roots from damaging foundations. Remember, a little maintenance goes a long way in preserving the beauty and functionality of your buildings. Stay proactive and keep your structures strong and safe for years to come! #BuildingMaintenance #ConstructionTips #StructuralIntegrity #DrilmaticInfrastructure #KenyaConstruction #BuildingCare #MaintenanceMatters

The Benefits of Commercial Roof Coating Systems and Rooftop Walkway Systems A few things to keep in mind when considering a commercial roof coating system: - Roof coating systems can be spray- or roll-applied. - A coating system can extend the life of a roof another 20 years. - Roof coating systems are more sustainable, producing less waste and reducing environmental impact. They can also be installed in less time, as they do not require the removal of the original system. - A white roof coating system applied over an existing black rubber roof can reduce energy bills by up to 40%. And here are a few key benefits of installing a rooftop walkway system: - Enhanced Safety: Roof walkways offer a stable, non-slip surface, reducing the risk of falls and ensuring greater protection for workers, outside contractors and the company. They also provide safer access during bad weather or icy conditions. - Roof System Preservation: By evenly distributing weight, roof walkways help protect the roof's integrity, minimizing the risk of damage such as cracks or other wear. Improved Accessibility: Roof walkways allow for easier access to essential equipment stored on the roof, facilitating maintenance and extending the roof’s lifespan. #RoofCoating #EnergySavings #SustainableRoofing #CommercialRoofing #RoofLifeExtension #WorkplaceSafety #NonSlipWalkways #RoofPreservation #ProtectYourRoof #SafeAccess #RoofMaintenance #RooftopSolutions #WorkerProtection #RoofingInnovation #RooftopAccess #ExtendRoofLifespan #FallPrevention

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 A new joint guide has been published that considers the potential risks associated with green and living walls as external cladding if incorrectly designed or managed. With green and living walls becoming a familiar feature of the built environment, the document, entitled Green and Living Walls as External Cladding – A Joint Guide to Managing Risk, seeks to consider the “implications that the provision of living walls may have for the resilience of the building, and the continuity of business or provision of services that are provided from it”. In particular, it addresses those risks relating to fire, escape of water (EoW), and weather events. As the document states: “Many Living Walls are of a scale and location that presents no additional risk to the scenario that would warrant further consideration, but others, applied at larger scale to a building, might have the potential to exert great influence on the safety and insurability of that building – and others around it – if not properly designed and maintained.” The document is below and has also been added the document to the 'Fire safety' section of the online library: https://lnkd.in/ea8UEFcT #livingwalls #firesafety #cladding
