municipalities wanting to ensure budgets for street furniture are well spent. The Rocla bus shelter can be supplied in various configurations, and although supplied in a light grey colour, the surface is easily painted for advertising, roadside markings and community notice purposes. Technicrete 60 mm Double Zig-Zag (DZZ) CL40/2.6 (40 MPA) interlocking pavers were selected for the entire road surface of the rank as well as for the walkways, in total an area of 7 000 m 2 . The DZZs are ideal for installation in taxi ranks and other such areas where a heavy traffic footprint is anticipated. The interlocking pavers form a continuous surface overlay while still providing a good quality and pleasing finish. Technicrete Civil Technician, James Honibal said “Space at site became one of the project challenges, but was

overcome by fine tuning our delivery scheduling. The feedback on the product quality from ALS Civil Projects was very positive. Our efforts to ensure that the DZZs were cured appropriately - longer than usual due to the paver strength requirements – and that our production and delivery planning dovetailed with their deadlines was another factor to the successful installation on the taxi rank project,” said Honibal. “We knew that both Rocla and Technicrete were the only manufacturers in the area that could produce the required product quality and back it up with good service and logistical compliance in order that our project management ran on schedule. That is what we have come to expect from the two companies and we have not been disappointed,“ concluded Nel. 
