PHOLOSO HOSPITAL RETAINING WALLS
Hendrik Steenkamp, Technicrete ISG’s sales consul-
tant said“Our Earthform garden blocks offer a supe-
rior quality to other options on the market. They
are well suited for projects that comprise retaining walls as
they are simple and quick to install and can be stacked up
to eight levels high. Earthform blocks also offer the facility
for vegetation to be planted within the blocks giving an
aesthetically pleasing finish. We supplied over 3 200 blocks
to the Netcare Pholoso project.
“Two factors made us choose Technicrete’s products,
one is that they are SABS approved and the other is the
competitive pricing that Technicrete ISG offers,“ said Faan
Breytenbach, owner of Racs Civils who was contracted to
the Netcare Pholoso Private Hospital development.
“We used 2 700 metres of their Fig 7 semi-mountable
kerb blocks throughout the parking areas and the Earthform
blocks were well suited for the finished look we were tasked
with achieving at the hospital. With the deadline for the
completion of the project being September, Technicrete ISG pulled out all
the stops to supply the quantities of kerbs and blocks that we required, and
they succeeded.” said Breytenbach.
The new 200-bed Netcare Pholoso
Private Hospital, which opened its
doors on 21 September 2015, installed
Technicrete’s Earthform garden blocks
in the boundary retaining walls and
kerbs in the hospital parking facility.
