learn Excavations

Excavations work in progress

Excavation definition; Uncover (something) by digging away and removing the earth that covers it. Remove (soil, earth, etc) by digging. If you like it, you can call us excavation contractors.

We carry out excavations such as ground excavation, archaeological excavation, bulk excavation, trench excavations, rock excavation, land excavation, trenching and excavation and also do shoring for excavation but for the contracted projects only.

We calculate excavation costs carefully and accurately to be able to give you competitive prizes, do perfect work and enable you to do proper planning.

The excavation process has many excavation hazards, safety excavation techniques must therefore be considered in the excavation plan. Our staff has the necessary excavation safety training according to the excavation safety guide

Excavations are often associated with archaeological exploration. Archaeologists hire our services of digging using the excavator and removing all unwanted soil using tipper trucks.

Our excavation services also apply where one is laying a foundation of a house but the has black cotton soil which cannot support the foundation, or when laying a foundation of a house with basements.

Usually we dig and remove all the black cotton soil and and throw it away. We also collect any unwanted soil /material and transport it to the desired location.

This is commonly known as “dumping” or “Escavation” we however acknowledge that the actual dumping is illegal and are committed to environmental conservation.

The mining industry can also hire our services of removing the top layer soil in their sites until the minerals are arrived at.

If you do not wish to engage us fully, then you can get our trucks for hire. Contact us by the mobile phone numbers provided above, through facebook, call 0723113398

Ballast suppliers

Ballast

Ballast ready for sale

Ballast is a construction material that applies in all projects. It is as a result of gravel rocks shaped into suitable sizes to suit the requirement. It is not formed by just any old rocks. The rock must meet some requirement qualify as a gravel rock.
Types of gravel rocks

Granite rocks: It has to be mined before being taken to a quarry for crushing. They are very hard and hence cannot be crushed with pressure. They are also very attractive making them suitable for driveways and walking paths.

Limestone and dolomite: The two minerals are found together. They also need to be crushed into smaller pieces to form gravel. It is allowed to use mix the two during constructions.

Basalt: Ranges from black to light grey depending on the volcanic activity. It is light and porous making it easy to transport compared with others.

Crimsons gravel: It is naturally occurring in mixed colors that include pale inks, reds, and blacks. This is one of the factors that contribute to its wide use as a decorative material.

The worry of where and how to find such gravel has been well taken care of by great cubes Kenya. we are well equipped and exposed to the field of construction materials, so you need not to worry.


Common uses of ballast

In case of an over estimate in gravel, no need to throw it away. There are a million uses of gravel am sure you would love.

1. Strengthens buildings foundations. This is achieved by mixing cement, sand water and ballast proportionally.

2. Colored gravel is very attractive if added into an aquarium. The beautiful colors add life to your aquarium

3. Slip-free floors. This is best achieved by using river stones. Such floors are suitable for bathrooms and near sinks.

4. Mini walls for gardens. Ballast is eye catching in making small flower gardens fences in a compound.

This being the digital world, great cubes Kenya has brought ballast and other construction materials a phone call away. We do the search for constructors and transport it in time to required destinations in East Africa. We charge reasonable prizes at the best quality and quantity.

Road Transport Safety
Results of overlooking Transport safety

Immoinner Accident

Transport safety (or lack thereof), especially in the road transport sector has become an issue of great concern to Kenya. The questions we need to ask ourselves as a nation are:

What actions are we taking to address transport safety problem?
What results are we getting from these interventions?
How relevant or effective are these interventions?

My observation is that actions taken to address lack of road transport safety are principally reactive, largely uncoordinated and poorly thought out. For example, every time there is a serious road accident, we hear all sorts of statements to decry the poor safety standards on our roads. The accident may for example be attributed to carelessness on the part of the driver. What we witness thereafter though is that authorities get onto the road and arrest every public service vehicle ostensibly for failure to meet road worthiness standards. I wonder how poor driving standards lead to vehicle unworthiness or vice versa.

Transport safety

I would assume that the best way to correct a faulty situation would be to study the fault and then deliberately design methods that will effectively correct the fault. On road transport accidents, majority correctly believe that most accidents are caused through poor driving, yet we accept the corrective measures taken by the authorities namely; fix the road worthiness of the vehicles and we will have safe roads. Needless to say the problem persists.

Another so called method of curbing road accidents popular in Kenya is to change the law, introducing all sorts of impractical punitive measures. As with the case of the reactive solution to road accidents, the law is hardly well thought out, leading to little or no improvement in the road safety standards. My opinion is that we need to fix our road safety culture. This include training standards and practice and legal enforcement standards. Introduction of legal provisions, consistent with the goal of improving safety on our roads is a must. Before going into the specifics of how to practically achieve the above items it would be nice to get some comments.
