I am no engineer nor architect but l guess you're talking about concrete waffles. The technology has been around for years but quite new in Kenya. Search Concrete waffles here on Wazua. Or Google Kizuri waffles to see if it's the chocolate pattern you're after.

Am using a bio digester in a flat to recycle water which is used for flushing all toilets. The recycled water looks clean unfortunately it has a bad odour that have refused to go. Anyone with idea on how to address the bad odour?


Is this setup legal? What does Public Health and Nema say about this. The water could be full of harmful bacteria.

@hardwood thanks your query. I had not thought about Public health/Nema. In the meantime I have discontinued bio digester until I get a solution

@hardwood,
What you are saying is the the water that would normally be channeled to a soak pit is pumped to an overhead tank dedicated to toilets?I think you are punishing your tenants in the name of conserving water..

What would be the cost of putting up something like this? Plot is off Kamiti Rd if that makes a difference. Red soil. Similar finishes.

@Rongla. Thanks for educating me, that's what I was looking for.

Anybody who has used roofing concrete waffles to lay slab?
How much did you save comparatively?

What are the disadvantages - if any?
