Structural Repairs in Nairobi, Kenya
By BestCare Facilities Management
Building structural integrity forms the foundation of property safety, functionality, and value. Professional structural repairs address damage, deterioration, and deficiencies that threaten building stability and occupant safety. BestCare Facilities Management provides expert structural repairs using proven methods and quality materials that restore and preserve Nairobi buildings for decades of continued service.
Understanding Structural Issues
Nairobi’s clay soils, seismic activity, heavy rains, and construction quality variations contribute to structural problems including foundation settlement, wall cracking, beam deflection, and concrete deterioration. Early identification and proper structural repairs prevent minor issues from becoming catastrophic failures.
Comprehensive Repair Services
Our structural repairs address all types of building structural problems.
Foundation Repairs
Foundation issues manifest as cracks, settlement, and structural movement. Our structural repairs include underpinning, crack injection, drainage improvement, and stabilization methods that restore foundation integrity and prevent future movement.
Crack Repair and Monitoring
Not all cracks indicate serious problems, but evaluation is essential. Our structural repairs include crack assessment, classification, and appropriate repair using epoxy injection, stitching, or reinforcement based on crack severity and cause.
Beam and Column Strengthening
Overloaded or deteriorated beams and columns compromise building safety. Our structural repairs include reinforcement using steel plates, carbon fiber wrapping, concrete jacketing, and other strengthening techniques.
Slab Repairs
Floor and roof slabs develop problems including cracking, deflection, and reinforcement exposure. Our structural repairs restore slab integrity using various patching, overlay, and strengthening methods.
Wall Repairs
Masonry and concrete walls suffer from cracking, bulging, moisture damage, and reinforcement corrosion. Our structural repairs address these issues while preserving architectural character and functionality.
Reinforcement Remediation
Exposed or corroded reinforcing steel compromises structural capacity. Our structural repairs include corrosion removal, reinforcement replacement, protective coating application, and concrete restoration.
Seismic Retrofitting
Older buildings lack modern seismic design features. Our structural repairs include retrofitting enhancing earthquake resistance through bracing, shear wall addition, and connection strengthening.
