  Nairobi is an urban landscape that is still growing and developing. Much of that development is thanks to engineering firms and their tireless work. Several essential infrastructures and facilities can only be built and refined by expert engineers. Here, we share some of the contributions that engineers have regarding the sustainable development of Nairobi. I. Urban infrastructure development -         Transportation networks: Engineering firms in Nairobi can improve the transportation and connectivity of the city. Engineers can design roads and highways to ensure maximum connectivity between the different parts of the city. Due to the increased accessibility, the city may experience significant economic growth. Also, travel times would be reduced and travel times would ultimately get quicker. All of these aspects are dependent on the engineer’s work.   -         Smart traffic management: With t...

  Engineering companies need to adopt certain safety measures ranging from complying with local regulations and codes to providing personal protective equipment to workers. These preventive measures minimize the chances of accidents, injuries or litigations. Here, we share 8 of the safety measures that engineering companies in Kenya need to enforce while working on projects. Compliance with regulations: Kenya has specific regulations set by bodies such as the National Construction Authority (NCA) and the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) . Engineering companies must pay close attention to the rules laid down by these governing bodies. They should also keep abreast of all the latest updates in the regulations. Doing so ensures that the firms always work within the confines of the law. Complying with the regulations ensure maximum safety in operations too. Risk assessment and management: To minimize accidents, engineering companies must...

Designing a healthcare facility is a task involving great responsibility. This is because each aspect must be optimised keeping in mind the needs of people who seek care at these facilities. The facilities also need to have access to advanced medical equipment, impeccable hygiene, air quality maintenance and much more. Here, we share some of the insights into designing healthcare building solutions.   1. Patient-centric facility design -         Optimised patient flow:  Optimizing patient flow and convenience is the number one priority for healthcare building solutions. By placing care units in strategic places, movement for patients can be reduced. This ensures minimal delays in care and improves the overall workflow in these settings.   -         Healing environments:  Another priority is to create spaces that foster well-being and recovery for patients who seek treatment. That is why it is...
