On the N12 Treasure Route, 185 kilometers south of Johannesburg, you will arrive in Klerksdorp and find new shopping centres, health care clinics, banks and a burgeoning motor vehicle industry that have been developed to meet the expanding community and business requirements of the area. Technicrete was contracted to supply paving for these new developments.
With many motor traders moving closer to the N12 for its excellent exposure, Wesbank has recently taken occupation of new offices in this up and coming part of Klerksdorp where the new Matlosana Mall is situated.
Technicrete Sales Consultant, Wian Blom said “The excellent finish on our newly launched Cottage Stone pavers coupled with the fact that they are manufactured only 10 kilometers away from Wesbank’s new building enabled Technicrete to easily supply stock to this new commercial development”.
“Our Double Zig Zag (DZZ) pavers along with the Cottage Stone pavers were installed around the main building. As two stands were separated along the side of the project stand, a height difference became evident and our Enviro-Wall retaining wall system was applied”.
Technicrete’s DZZs are interlocking pavers that offer a hard-wearing surface that are suited to high foot traffic environments. The pavers form a continuous surface overlay. Aesthetically elegant they offer an economical and appealing finish. “Aggeneys, a small mining town in the northern Cape installed Technicrete DZZ pavers 40 years ago, and they are still going strong” said Blom.
Retaining Wall Technology
The Enviro-Wall is a cost-effective yet simple gravity retaining wall system. Its easy construction from dry stacked interlocking, precast blocks allows the blocks to be easily and quickly laid to form an effective retaining wall system. The system is particularly suited for earth embankments, and landscaping of cut and fill areas around buildings.
Technicrete’s new Cottage Stone pavers are durable enough for high volume areas such as municipal parking areas, pedestrian walkways, domestic driveways, general pathways and commercial developments.
They are available in the following colours: plum, slate, terracotta, tan, grey and autumn.
Technicrete is part of the ISG which also includes Rocla.
