Technical Details
This project involved the fabrication of a custom steel structure using advanced MIG welding techniques to ensure precision, strength, and long-term durability. All work was executed in line with engineering design specifications and international structural steel fabrication standards.
Fabrication and Welding Process
- Used Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding for superior joint quality and minimal distortion.
- Complied with AWS D1.1 and BS EN 1090 standards for structural steel fabrication.
- Applied precision cutting, alignment, and inspection techniques to ensure dimensional accuracy.
- Conducted quality control tests including visual inspection and weld penetration assessments.
Materials Used
- Square Hollow Sections (SHS): for frame and column reinforcement.
- Universal Beams (UB): for main load-bearing and support elements.
- Angle Irons and Flat Bars: for bracing, joint connections, and cross-member stability.
- High-Tensile Bolts and Plates: for structural assembly and ease of maintenance.
All materials were locally sourced and certified to international engineering standards, ensuring both sustainability and reliability.
Finishing and Protection
- Surface Preparation: grit blasting to remove rust and surface impurities.
- Protective Coating: epoxy primer and polyurethane paint for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Final Inspection: verification of dimensional accuracy, weld quality, and coating integrity.

Project Impact
The completion of this steel pedestrian footbridge fabrication project across River Nzoia in Nandi County, Kenya has greatly improved accessibility and safety for local residents in Ngenyilel and surrounding areas.
By providing a durable and well-engineered pedestrian bridge structure, SHEP Engineering successfully enhanced mobility across the river, connecting schools, markets, and residential communities that were previously divided by the waterway.
Key Project Benefits
- Created safe pedestrian access across River Nzoia through a structurally sound and weather-resistant steel footbridge.
- Improved connectivity between rural and urban areas within Nandi County.
- Supported local economic growth by easing transportation of goods and services.
- Reduced safety risks associated with crossing the river during rainy seasons.
- Showcased SHEP Engineering’s capability in bridge fabrication and installation in Kenya.
This project demonstrates the value of structural engineering expertise and quality steel fabrication in Kenya, helping to strengthen local infrastructure while promoting sustainable development and community empowerment.
