| ABPPOLYBLOCK
PERIMETER WALL PROJECT NORTH RIDING, JOHANNESBURG
ABPPolyblock
has been specified for the perimeter and plot dividing walls
of a 55 unit duplex housing development in North Riding Johannesburg.
Foundations were dug and cast mid March and building of the
walls commenced on 26 March 2007.
The building is being undertaken by Harris and Associates
and all engineering design was done by MRH Consultants.
The perimeter wall has a number of functions in that it needs
to have a retaining capacity as the road and pavement are
in places over a metre higher than the internal stands as
well as being secure and aesthetically pleasing.
The walls will use a combination of 180mm and 120mm wide blocks
with the 120mm blocks fitting into the 120mm internal dimension
of the 180mm block to form recessed panels between the columns,
the wall base and wall capping blocks.
Prime
motivation for the use of ABPPolyblock was the speed with
which the walls can be erected without the need for skilled
labour.
