Our team was fortunate enough to manage this first ever eco-friendly road in Africa. This project comprised of a road upgrade using stabilized aggregate layers followed by recycled plastic pellets mixed with hot asphalt as the surfacing. Infrastructure such as stormwater and kerbing were also reconstructed.
This project required skilled expertise to reinstate and construct a storm-damaged timber boardwalk. Allowing persons to cross and have access to the beach. Working alongside the ocean requires only the most durable materials. This reinstatement was done with H6 Marine treated timber and 316 stainless steel hardware.
Chemically anchored, reinforced concrete landing and steps casted to easily access the beach.
During this operation our team demolished an existing retaining wall which was not constructed according to specification. We constructed the new retaining wall on a reinforced concrete foundation with the reinforcing steel connected from foundation to the very last retaining block. All blocks were filled with concrete and a subsoil drainage system was installed which is a critical part of the durability and effectiveness of the wall.
Grass block paving is a permeable paving design which allows water to drain away through the blocks. This grass block roadway was constructed to assist with erosion control in a nature conservation reserve. Cast insitu edge restraints was constructed with the grass blocks layed on a riversand screed and geotextile.
Powerful tidal surges together with a spring tide caused extreme damages to this tidal pool area. We constructed a stone embedded concrete platform and built a natural stone wall to make it aesthetically pleasing for the community.
An existing beach walkway washed away by a severe storm which allowed us to reinstate it. The reinstatement included stabilization of aggregate layers followed by an interlocking paver finish.
A new wearing surface was applied to the existing roads of a busy beach resort. This was done with a slurry seal application by our specialized team. Prior to the slurry sealing the necessary potholes and patches were repaired with hot asphalt. A slurry seal application prolongs the life of asphalt and the new wearing course can typically last for 6-8 years depending on traffic conditions.
This project required our team to construct a reinforced concrete footing and wall to support an existing retaining wall. The existing wall was on the verge to collapse, causing possible damage to the property. The entire construction process could only be carried out by hand as there was no access for any machinery to assist.
On request by a reputable construction company, we were given the task to construct a 88 kiloliter oil dam for a wind farm in the Eastern Cape. On the completion of the oil dam the 16 wind turbines were activated as the oil dam plays a crucial role in the functioning of the wind farm. This oil dam consisted of a 3-skin reinforced cavity wall with a 10mm waterproof plastering finish on the inside & mortar bagged bitumen finish on the outside. A steel contractor was set to install a stainless steel roof.
This project consisted of wet cast cobble pavers installed on a bed of cement/ sand screed. An additional subbase layer was constructed to ensure stability and durability.
Grass block paving is a permeable paving design which allows water to drain away through the blocks. This grass block driveway was constructed to assist with erosion control in a nature conservation reserve. Cast insitu edge restraints was constructed with the grass blocks layed on a riversand screed and geotextile.
