A single property in Dundee, KwaZulu-Natal required six distinct gabion interventions — a mass gravity retaining wall, rockfall barrier, dissipation structure, detention tank, drain channel lining, and driveway embankment support. Here is how we approached it from geotechnical investigation through to final installation.
KwaZulu-Natal’s coastal and midland soils demand flexible, permeable retaining solutions. We explain why mass gravity gabion walls consistently outperform concrete in KZN conditions — and how SANS 1200 DK classifies gabion and stone pitching works in South Africa.
When bulk earthworks expose bedrock with no natural topsoil remaining, conventional revegetation fails. We explain how we integrated geocell honeycomb modular systems at our Dundee project to establish permanent vegetation on bare rock faces.
The organisations said it was looking for commissioners from the energy sector, or tho- se who specialise in the relationship between infrastructure and the environment, or infrastructure policy.
Architecture and Engineering studio Foster + Partners has won planning permission to redevelop a triangular site in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, with a botanical garden and a pair of plant-covered high-rises.
