Preparation and pouring of the concrete ceiling
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.

Preparation & pouring of columns
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.
