Kwa Ndege, Tassis, Nairobi
EPS 3D moves from specification to live construction — captured here as the installation team, with Kossy Langat among the structural leadership, stages and installs branded EPS 3D LTD floor panels across a Nairobi residential slab.
EPS 3D floor panels replace the dense timber prop scaffolding of conventional slab construction with a lighter, faster structural system. At Tassis, you can see exactly how: prepared formwork below, reinforcement in place, and EPS 3D LTD panels being laid across the full slab field. As General Manager of EPS Manufacturing & Supply Kenya, Kossy was part of the leadership driving this installation — ensuring the system performed as designed, on the ground.

The Challenge
Conventional RC slab systems demand heavy formwork, dense propping, and long curing cycles that lock a residential site for weeks. The challenge was to demonstrate that EPS 3D delivers a structurally equivalent floor with significantly less material, less scaffolding, and a faster installation sequence.
Our Intervention
The on-site installation team executed the full EPS 3D sequence at Tassis — deck preparation, reinforcement layout, panel staging, and active placement across the slab field. The EPS 3D LTD panels, visible with their branded markings, reduce structural dead load compared to a solid concrete slab, while the steel wire mesh faces and shotcrete fill deliver equivalent structural strength. Kossy, as General Manager of EPS Manufacturing & Supply Kenya, was among the senior leaders overseeing the technical delivery of this system.
"Tassis proves the EPS 3D case on the ground, not in a brochure. The system reduces slab dead load, cuts scaffolding requirements, and compresses the floor completion cycle. For residential developers managing material costs and build timelines, that is a competitive argument — and this is what it looks like in practice."
