Under the Dome, Defining New Landmarks in East Africa: Empowering Public Spaces with Our Bespoke Design

图片
  On the skylines of Nairobi, Addis Ababa, and Dar es Salaam, modern municipal buildings are rising. With East Africa’s economic growth and the preparation for major international events and cultural festivals, stadiums, museums, and convention centers are no longer just functional structures – they have become the “calling cards” that showcase a city’s ambition and vitality.   However, when developing such large-scale public buildings, owners and government bodies often face a key challenge: how to achieve unobstructed, large-span spaces while balancing aesthetics and safety? Traditional concrete structures struggle to meet the open-view requirements of stadiums or the artistic fluidity of museums. That is exactly where our expertise comes in. As a team specialized in steel structure design with multiple successfully delivered municipal projects in East Africa, we deeply understand the social significance of these buildings. We provide not just steel structures, but fully tai...

Nodal treatment of roof waterproof construction for large-span buildings

 

1, Deformation joints: large-span building roof due to temperature changes, structural deformation and other factors will produce deformation joints. The waterproof construction at the deformation joints should be able to adapt to the deformation of the roof. General use of flexible waterproof construction, such as in the deformation joints filled with polystyrene foam and other thermal insulation materials, and then paste the waterproofing roll-roofing material on both sides, the coil should be used in the empty pavement method or point bonding method, leaving enough space for expansion and contraction, and then in the coil surface to install a metal or plastic cover, to play a protective and decorative role.

2, Light windows and roof junction processing: in some large-span building roof will be set on the light windows, this part is the key node of waterproofing. First of all, we must ensure that the light window and roof structure is firmly connected, and then at the junction of the sealant sealing, sealant should be continuous, full. At the same time, you can lay waterproofing roll-roofing additional layer around the light window, additional layer should be turned upward to a certain height, covering the light window's frame, to prevent rainwater leakage from the interface.

3, Roof entrances and exits: roof entrances and exits of waterproofing to consider the frequency of people in and out of the damage that may be brought. In the entrance and exit around the installation of water barrier, the height is generally 150 - 200mm, using concrete or metal materials. In the water barrier and roof junction and the top of the entrance, to do a good job of waterproofing membrane paving and sealing treatment, such as the use of coil up and bonded with the wall in a solid manner, to ensure that rainwater will not enter the roof from the entrance.
