SI-LATECH Precast & EcoSlabs Systems
Explore Kenya's most comprehensive catalog of precision precast concrete beams, EcoSlabs, hollow infill blocks, and turnkey slab construction materials. High structural strength, factory-controlled quality, and transparent factory-direct pricing.
Precast Concrete Flat Beam System
Engineered specifically for residential bungalows, maisonettes, and apartments with spans up to 4.0 meters. Lightweight ribs allow manual placement without expensive cranes or hoists.
System Advantages
- Minimal Timber Propping: Requires temporary support props at only 0.6m spacing during screed casting.
- Flush Soffit Finish: Ceiling underside is uniform and ready for direct plaster skim coat.
- Crane-Free Handling: 2–3 site workers can comfortably carry and place each beam by hand.

Heavy-Duty Engineering
Engineered inverted T-section beam for high structural loads and expansive bays.
Prestressed Concrete T-Beam System
Our flagship structural prestressed concrete T-beam is designed for longer spans up to 6.5m+ and demanding commercial floor loads. Manufactured with high-strength C50/60 concrete and high-tensile prestressed strands.
System Advantages
- NO Formwork Needed: Fully self-supporting prestressed T-beams eliminate timber formwork, shuttering, and propping entirely.
- Expansive Column-Free Spaces: Accommodates large open living rooms, commercial offices & retail floors up to 6.5m+ clear spans.
- Superior Load Capacity: Engineered to withstand heavy dead & live loads with zero structural deflection.
- Interlocking Block Flanges: T-beam profile securely grips the hollow infill blocks for enhanced structural diaphragm action.
Lightweight Hollow Concrete Infill Blocks
Our hollow blocks act as lightweight void formers between precast beams, drastically reducing dead load while creating natural thermal and acoustic insulation barriers.
Flat Beam Infill Block
Designed with shallow rebates to rest flush against 545/m Flat Beams, producing a seamless, uniform ceiling soffit ready for skimming.
T-Beam Infill Block
Engineered with deep interlocking side shoulders that sit firmly on the bottom flange of T-Beams, maximizing mechanical interlocking under structural screed loads.

Flat Beam vs. T-Beam vs. Solid Cast Slab
Compare metrics to choose the perfect floor slab configuration for your structural engineering drawings.
| Metric / Feature | Flat Beam System | T-Beam System | Traditional Cast Slab |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beam Unit Price | KES 545 / meter | KES 1,200 / meter | N/A (Full timber formwork) |
| Infill Block Price | KES 90 / pc | KES 100 / pc | None (100% solid concrete) |
| Recommended Spans | Safe for Spans ≤ 4.0m | Up to 6.5m+ Clear Spans | Varies (requires drop beams) |
| Estimated Slab Cost | ~ KES 1,950 - 2,100 / m² | KES 2,800 – 3,500 / m² | KES 4,000 – 4,800 / m² |
| Dead Load Weight | ~ 180 kg/m² (Lightweight) | ~ 220 kg/m² (Balanced) | ~ 360 kg/m² (Heavy) |
| Formwork & Timber Needed | Minimal propping (props @ 0.6m) | NO FORMWORK NEEDED (Self-Supporting) | Full 100% Timber Shuttering & Props |
| Construction Speed | 3 - 4 Days Ready to Pour | 3 - 5 Days Ready to Pour | 2 - 3 Weeks (curing + formwork) |
