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.
