The Nile Institute Rwanda has successfully completed another 6 steps of the construction works phase. From flooring & tiling to the great entrance stairs. Take a look at the beautiful pictures.
The end-of-year celebrations were brief but positive. After a two-day break, construction resumed. The masonry work is progressing well, with interior walls leveled and exterior masonry looking beautiful. Cleanup and finishing tasks are underway, including jointing the outer walls and making the roof water-resistant. The construction site is gradually transforming into an ‘institute’!
Back in the first week of October, the last concrete slab of the ceiling was poured successfully. As soon as the ceiling is fully dried out, the wooden props and formwork are removed before burning off the adhered plastic film – used for a smooth finish during concrete pouring. Next Read more
Since our last report on the pouring of 38 columns earlier in July, we are thrilled to share yet another update on the progress of the Nile Institute Rwanda construction works.
The concrete floor slab was poured at the end of June. The drying out of the 15 cm thick slab takes 28 days. It is watered daily to prevent too rapid drying and reduced quality. Time to start the next phase: preparation for pouring the columns.
After a lot of preparation works, the 28th & 29th of June mark an important milestone for the Nile Institute Rwanda. With the help of more than 100 people from the village, the concrete floor plate was poured, finishing the foundation works on schedule!
While last time the Groundworks & base Foundation works were documented, this time we’re moving on to the advanced foundations in preparation of the floor plate.
