On May 22–23, 2025, Maccaferri Africa, in partnership with SANPAC, proudly participated in the Kenya Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors (KABCEC) CPD Convention and Contractors Networking Event at Broadwalk Mall, Nairobi.

This two-day event brought together over 350 professionals from across Kenya’s construction sector—including contractors, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, and students—for a dynamic exchange of ideas under the theme: “Affordable Housing and the New Building Code.”

The convention featured:

• Keynote presentations from industry veterans on sustainable construction practices.
• Panel discussions on cost-effective building methods using local materials and modular construction.
• Insightful sessions led by the National Construction Authority (NCA) on the revised Building Code, emphasizing safety, durability, and environmental responsibility.
• An exhibition floor showcasing cutting-edge construction technologies and materials.

Maccaferri Africa and SANPAC also exhibited at the event, engaging directly with attendees to showcase innovative geosynthetic solutions and infrastructure technologies that support sustainable and affordable construction.

Maccaferri Africa’s Head of Sales for East Africa, Yugeshnee Naidoo, captivated the audience with her presentation:
“Reinventing Infrastructure: The Role of Geosynthetics in Modern Construction.”

Her talk highlighted how geosynthetic technologies are transforming affordable housing and infrastructure development—focusing on platform and pavement enhancements, stormwater management, dam construction, and landfill integration.

The event was a powerful platform for collaboration, innovation, and professional growth—reinforcing Maccaferri Africa’s commitment to advancing sustainable infrastructure solutions across the continent.
