Atlyn Shopping Centre
The shopping centre comprises of the major retailers like Woolworths, Clicks, Shoprite, Edgars, Jet and Foschini. Due to its popularity amongst customers and re-tailers alike, the centre is currently in its fourth phase of extensions. A major revamp and extension of the centre commenced over the past three years, adding 3800sqm to an already existing 36000 sqm of gross leasable area. Atlyn has also added 12 new tenants AND a diversity of retailers all in a fully revamped and refreshed stylish shopper-friendly setting, including a further extension to Shoprite. The face-lift is focused on enhancing the comfort element at the centre, since re-
search indicates that the average shopper spends two hours here. It includes beauti-
fication and extension of the food court, more benches and greening of the public
spaces and improvement of facilities. Completed and fully operational in March
2013, the new phase lures all the significant fashion brands into a one stop commu-
nity shopping centre. Interestingly, enthusiastic shoppers from the nearby communi-
ty of Laudium are finding it convenient to shop in Atteridgeville. Demand from re-
tailers for space in the centre is ongoing while the centre’s popularity is evident from
the remarkable attendance and trading density figures. Safari’s vision is to establish
Atlyn as an area regional shopping centre and maintain its status as the strongest
retail node in Atteridgeville. The focus is on maintaining and continuously attracting
the right tenant mix for the market in order to offer the best choice and facilities to
the shoppers of Atlyn. The recent acquisition of additional land around the centre
was another critical step and plans for the new addition on Maunde Street are un-
derway, which will only strengthen the establishment of Atlyn as the preferred shop-
ping destination in this area in the long term.

The Maunde Street Proposal
Upgrade
Atteridgeville Community Atteridgeville, an established settlement west of Pretoria, is the result of the apartheid segregation town planning scheme and has grown to be home to approximately 250 000 inhabitants. The connotation commonly made to the term 'township' still persists here a social vibrancy, fruit vendors on every corner, meat roast-ed on open fires, music, pedestrians and modes of public transport filling up the dilapidated streets and sidewalks (or lack thereof). Julian Cooke (ARCHSA, issue 59,Jan/Feb 2013:1) speaks about the improvements happening in spatially (and racially) segregated apartheid cities and the exciting energy it results in- “...multiple small business along roads and new construction sites every-where in conjunction with community facilities and shopping cen-tres” are the new face of developing townships all across the country. The dynamic composition between the traditional town-ship and developing sophistication of these areas are “undoubtedly starting to improve the balance of amenity, invest-ment and attraction” (Cooke 2013:1) to these unique cultural precincts.
A vibrant South African city culture is emerging where the
‘township culture’ weaves itself effortlessly into the same streets
as the impressive cars & small business of young professionals.
Harmoniously, they form part of the ongoing urban complex of
Atteridgeville. The extensions and major upgrades of the Atlyn
Shopping Centre falls right in the lap of this township upliftment &
‘new urbanization’ of the peripheral settlement of Attteridgeville.
The MDM Design It was October 2006, in the heart of Atteridgeville a shopping complex was developed by Safari Investments, a well established company who invest in income generating property. The vision of the Atlyn Shopping Centre was to establish the development as the preferred shopping destination and subsequently eliminate competition. The centre supports approximately 50000 house-holds where the main representatives are female shoppers aged 36. MDM Architects & Development Managers, the architectural practice responsible for the layout and design of Atlyn pride themselves in user-friendly design and economically feasible projects.

MDM has at its disposal a team of skilled specialists who do not shy away from the demanding challenges of the Commer-cial and Development market. The firm has expertise in the design and development of retail and commercial projects and/of tourism and institutional facilities. During the past twenty years the firm has been particularly active in commer-cial projects as well as developing its own projects.
The Future MDM Architects & Development Managers focused on the future with the design and extension of Atlyn. Through innova-tive design, creative thinking and advanced management skills, the practice is geared to play a major role in the enhancement of the built environment. In the building design of Atlyn, the practice aimed at timelessness; practical simplicity and a har-monious connection with the centre's context. This design philosophy creates a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere for the user who spends most of the day in stressful and congested surroundings. The unique character of Atlyn stems from the fact that it feeds off the beautiful climate of South Africa to improve the experience of the centre. The centre employs a courtyard building type, accommodating parking, walkways, vegetation and outside seating areas in the middle. The dual function of this building type is to create a safe, internal environment, much more preferable than the enclosed "mall" environment so often seen in cities of South Africa. When the need arose to cover walkways and entrances to shops, the design was carefully considered to retain the fresh air and natural sunlight filtering through every shop and public space. Where a small area of the centre needed to be enclosed, the design decision was made to employ a simple portal frame design with light cladding materials to retain as much of these natural elements as possible.
N a tu ra l s u n l ig h t fi l te r ing th ro u gh e v e ry s h op a nd p u b l i c p la c e
Wide existing walkways created an opportunity to apply the portal frame in such a way that it did not interfere with the existing structure, creating simple construction methods and eliminating waste.
Wid e r , c ov e r e d wa lk w ay s , b en c h e s a nd t r e e s w e r e in c or p or a te d
Clear and smokey polycarbonate sheeting cover the walkways, allowing the sun to filter through while providing shelter for rainy days. The sophisticated louvre system allows natural cross- ventilation while removing hot air through the stack effect, eliminating the need for air-conditioners.

A Rise In Shoppers at Atlyn Market research done by Urban Studies in December 2012, inter-viewed 200 shoppers and showed that 60% of users visit the centre weekly, while 89% make a trip to Atlyn more than once a month. The average dwell time of all shoppers showed to be 102 minutes, creating the opportunity to provide facili-ties to enhance the dwelling experience when visiting Atlyn. Emphasis was put on upgrading the external milling spaces by focusing on the user's need when dwelling in the centre. Wid-er, covered walkways, benches, trees and various other street furniture were incorporated with external eating areas in front of existing shop fronts to create a desirable atmosphere.

Francois Marais, the CEO of Safari Investments says:" The needs of Atlyn shoppers have been addressed fully up to the last detail, including the provision of a safe children play area to be installed soon. The urban upgrade impressed upon Atteridgeville by Safari In-vestments does not end at the entrance of Atlyn. Prospective projects by the firm includes 10000sqm of retail space on a prop-erty situated in Maunde Street in the valley below Atlyn, with the view of making the Atteridgeville commercial node even strong-er. The project envisions the physical integration of the existing Atlyn Centre and the new Maunde building. The connection is 0.6 km landscaping intervention providing a public space on the corner of Khoza and Maunde Street, with vendors and street furniture. This corner already boasts informal activity and the concept will be to enhance the existing character of these two streets at their connection point. A land-mark site, this corner can become the meeting site, drop-off zone and waiting place for visitors and inhabitants of Atteridgeville alike. Trees, patterned paving, transport stop-overs & seating nodes will lead shoppers from one centre to the other in an effortless & relaxed walking experience.

RETAIL ENHANCEMENT
It is not only the benefit of improved retail conditions that the bridge link development at Cresta Shopping Centre will bring to customers but also a better road network for the smooth flow of traffic.
By May 2014, shoppers at the Cresta Shopping Centre will enjoy the shopping experience, when the construction of a new pedestrian link is envisaged to have been completed. At the cost of R160 million, on completion, the developers, Pareto Limited , expect the project to improve trading conditions in the Mall by connecting the two sides of the mall and the strengthening of the existing piles to support the new structure so as to give the centre an updated contemporary look with clean lines and neutral colours. The Cresta Bridge Link development will also bring a number of improvements to surrounding roads.
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY FEATURES
The project incorporated environmentally friendly features as it entails an eco friendly lighting design which aims to enhance the lighting
within the centre, it is energy efficient and uses colours to create moods. The lighting design is in line with Pareto’s energy saving
strategy for the shopping centre.

Environmental friendly features
The project incorporated environmentally friendly features as it entails an eco friendly lighting design which aims to enhance the lighting within the centre, it is energy efficient and uses colours to create moods. The lighting design is in line with Pareto’s energy saving strategy for the shopping centre.
Construction Stages:
Phase 1
Phase one includes improvements to Acacia Road including road widening, two new traffic circles, upgrading of an existing traffic circle and the introduction of additional right turning lanes at the intersection of Republic Road to improve traffic flow.
Phase 2
Phase two will include the Valley and Weltervreden roads intersection which will involve lowering the intersection and the pedestrian access. The intersection will be closed off and barricaded from Beyers Naude and Valley Road on all four sides of the intersection. Traffic will be diverted to use Acacia Road as the link between Beyers Naude Drive and Republic Road.
Phase 3
Phase three will involve the lowering of the Weltervreden Road from its intersection with Valley Road up to Republic Road. During construction, Weltervreden Road will be closedoff completely from Valley Road to Republic Road. During this phase the construction of the bridge link will take place. The link between Republic Road and Beyers Naude will be achieved via Acacia Road until this phase is completed.
Public consultation process taken to prevent any inconveniences that the project might have caused
The Broll Property Group had to under take a public consultation process to forestall the inconveniences the project might cause to traffic flow around the shopping centre especially during afternoon peak times. Initially, pedestrians were also a challenge such that the contractor had to ensure that all work was to be conducted after trading hours. Nevertheless, it is not only the benefit of improved retail conditions that the Cresta Bridge link development will bring to customers but
also a better road network for the smooth flow of traffic. It will be an eighteen month worth while waiting.

ICONIC BUILDING
DISAPPEARS AT THE TOUCH
OF A BUTTON
At midday on July 7, 2013, Tshwane’s historic Munitoria Building was no more. The remnants of the 44-year-old building were imploded to make way for new government headquarters, to be known as Tshwane House. The implosion the city’s first in 14 years and one of the biggest in the city in terms of mass was a momentous occasion. The 14-floor building, which included two lower basements, was over 160 meters long. Preparation for the implosion took approximately four and a half months from February 2013, when the Tsela Tshweu Construction Joint Venture (comprising Group Five Construction, Trencon Construction and Imbani Construction) and its subcontractor Draco Demolition took over the site from the City of Tshwane. The project required a labour complement of almost 120 people a day in order to ensure that all carpets, ceilings, doors, tiles, lights, wiring, facades and plumbing were completely stripped from the building. The bridges over Madiba Street, which connected the Munitoria building with the Sammy Marks Building, were removed
over four consecutive weekends prior to the implosion. This necessitated road closures to allow cranes, which could be seen for kilometres, to move in and work tirelessly through the night to handle the mammoth task.
All possible steps were taken to reduce the implosion impact on nearby residents, businesses, and the animals in Pretoria Zoo. “This was part of our commitment to protect the environment and reduce the potential effects of demolition to acceptable limits,” said Teddy Habib of Draco Demolition, the company contracted by the Tsela Tshweu Construction Joint Venture for the demolition.
“We’ve built up a reputation for introducing and using modern, innovative techniques, and have an impeccable safety record,” continued Habib, “so the public can rest assured the project was carried out in the best way possible.” As a further safety precaution, and in accordance with the Safety Regulations Act, the two-block area surrounding the Munitoria building was evacuated prior to the implosion. Through the demolition and implosion of the building, Munitoria aims to achieve four-star status on the Green Star
South Africa rating system. This is designed primarily to recognise and reward environmental leadership in the property industry. In-line with this, an impressive 75 per cent of the building will be recycled.
18
On a technical level, before the implosion the building was stripped down to a skeleton, leaving in place only concrete columns over 1 000 of them and slabs. Columns were drilled and tamped, then the entire building was ‘wrapped in cloth’ which acted as catch nets to contain any flying debris. The blasting charges were strategically placed in weakened columns, staircases and lift shafts. Electronic time-delay relay switches were used to ensure no premature detonations.
The entire blast lasted only 12 seconds with the three main portions of the building collapsing onto their own footprints, one after the other. The noise of the implosion was heard for many kilometres and reached approximately 140 decibels for those 12 seconds. The immense dust cloud created by the implosion took approximately an hour to settle.
Officially opened in 1969, Munitoria suffered a devastating fire in 1997 and had since been the subject of many debates. After various attempts to rebuild the west wing, the City of Tshwane decided instead to demolish the remainder of the building.
The implosion was the final stage of the demolition. The original building was state-of-the art for its time, boasting 17 high-speed lifts one of the largest lift installations in the country. The new headquarters will be no different, but 21st century state of the art. The structure will take at least 18 months to complete and will house various Council departments, which are currently scattered throughout the city.
HISTORY OF MUNITORIA BUILDING
As the historic Munitoria Building makes way for the new state of the art municipal headquarters, service delivery backlogs will be the thing of the past. The soon to be constructed Tshwane House will enable greater ease of access to services for Tshwane citizens and will further instill a culture of increased organizational efficiency. The new headquarters will accommodate 1500 municipal employees considered to be the strong centre of the municipality and will thus reduce costs and provide for efficient decision-making. It is worth reflecting on the Munitoria Building and take a look at where it all started. The first owner of the land on which Munitoria was built was the city’s founder and then President
Marthinus Wessel Pretorius. This land was given as compensation after he had bought the Elandspoort and Daspoort farms on which Pretoria was established for R1 200, 00. After his retirement in the office, he sold the land in 1876 to an English immigrant, T.W. Beckett, for R300.
Mr Beckett registered this land in the Deeds Office in the name of his six year old son George William and created his first thatched-roof dwelling and planted exotic trees which he believed to be the Australian Blackwood tree although they were Casuarina trees, also Australian, which were still standing on the site when it was cleared for the construction of Munitoria. One of Pretoria’s early hotels was built on this site and because of the trees growing there, the hotel soon became known as the “Blackwood Villa Hotel”. For many years it was one of Pretoria’s leading hotels, being particularly popular with visitors from the rural areas who found the stables and the efficient stable boys much to their liking.
The site, however, retained the name and it was known as the Blackwood Villa site when George William Beckett offered his inheritance to the City Council for R80 000 in 1936.
19
When he wrote a letter to the City Council, he said “it seems to us this is an ideal site either for market or for a bus garage or for parking buses”. At that time Pretoria had few buses and this offer was rejected by a majority of councillors.
One councillor who was the chairperson of the City Council’s Finance Committee, Mr Saul Rutowitz was against the decision to reject the offer. Two years later he submitted a memorandum to the Council urging the purchase of this site, arguing that the site is in danger of being cut up and losing its value.
After careful consideration, the City Council decided to negotiate with Mr Beckett. But much water was still to flow down the Apies River before anything was done and it was not until after the Second World War that the City Council was informed that Mr Beckett was prepared to sell the Blackwood Villa site for R200 000.
After further negotiations Mr Beckett accepted an offer of R190 000 and the property was acquired in March 1945, giving way to the construction of Munitoria Building on this site.
Munitoria, the municipal headquarters of the then City Council of Pretoria was built during the 1960’s and the official inauguration took place on 28 February 1969.
Sixteen years ago on 3 March 1997 a fire destroyed the West Block of Munitoria, severely affecting the municipality’s operations and service delivery to its residents. The South Block was saved because of the tenacity of firefighters from the city and neighboring towns who extinguished the fire after 12 hours. On 1 February1998, an implosion reduced the West Block into a 40 000 ton of rubble in just three seconds.
Earlier this year the City handed the Munitoria site over to Tsela Tshweu Construction Joint Venture signaling the first chapter of the municipality’s new residence Tshwane House.
The development will be funded jointly by the city and private partners in what is said to be the first public-private partnership of its scale in the country at a municipal level.
After
Demolition

The 63 apartment Quayside development at Century City, which is being developed by Rabie Property Group and financed by Nedbank Corporate Property Finance, has been sold out three months ahead of transfer. According to Brian Usher, Sales Manager of Property World, the on-site official agents, this is the first time a residential development has been sold out at Century City ahead of completion for more than five years and was indicative of both the market strengthening and the continued strong demand for homes within the burgeoning precinct.
He said the Quayside apartments had sold for a total of just over R100million. Sales at the neighbouring Quay north development have also been going strongly with 85% of the 28 units sold for a total of just over R34million. “This is also only due for completion towards the end of the year by which time we expect to also be sold out,” said Usher. Usher said Property World has sold a total of 100 residential properties at Century City since July 2012. Of these, 43 were new development sales totalling just under R100million and the balance were resales totalling just over R82million giving a total value of R179million. In addition, a further R100million in sales had been notched up at the Oasis Luxury Retirement Resort in Century City over this period.
“While Property World’s sales this year have been lower than they were at the same time last year, 2012 figures were influenced by the launch of two new projects during that period whereas we have only launched one new project so far this year Waterberry at Ashton Park where we have already sold 15 of the 43 one, two and three bedroom apartments since its launch in late February. “We expect these sales to continue picking up particularly due to its location close to the new Curro Private School and we are already planning the next two phases of Ashton Park which at
this rate we will be launching in the second half of the calendar year to keep up with demand,” he said. Usher said that buy-to- let investors were still very much in the market due to low interest rates and the strong demand for residential apartments from tenants . “In fact as soon as an apartment becomes available to let we are able to fill it and we have a long waiting list of would be tenants.” He said the shortage of rental stock had seen rentals firming considerably in the past couple of years. “We are now achieving between R6500 and R7500 for a one bedroom unit, around R9000 for a two bedroom unit and up to R13 000 for a three bedroom unit.”

Greyville Racecourse is home to Africa's Greatest Horseracing Event, the Vodacom Durban July, run over 2 200 metres. It is also home to South Africa's most prestigious staying race, the Gold Cup, the Daily News 2000 and also the Betting World 1900, the last two very important pointers to the Vodacom Durban July. A pear-shaped, right-handed track with a circumference of 2 800 metres, Greyville has a run-in of 500 metres and no straight for sprints. Unusual features are the golf course in the centre of the track, the Drill Hall which obscures the 1600 metre start and two sub-ways. The construction of these subways resulted in the course having an uphill section from the 2 400 metre post up to the 1 800 metre position,
thereafter a gentle downward slope for about 800 metres, fol-lowed by an uphill section from the 1000 metre mark into the straight. Horses racing handy frequently do well at Greyville, and many a front runner has stolen a march on the opposition, especially when there is a strong south-westerly tail wind. Horses which race from off the pace also do well at Greyville, but ability to quicken is essential in such cases. Inside draws are generally favoured over most distances up to 1 900 metres, but more so over 1 600 metres as the start is effected right on the top bend. The effort of overcoming a wide draw can be negated to some extent by the sitting of the false rail, which enables the field to fan out, thereby obtaining a clear run to the winning post.

In the 1840’s, the military and the English and Boer Settlers in-formally raced horses in the port city of Durban. But it was only some 57 years later that horseracing became more formalized in this region. The first ‘official’ meeting to take place at Greyville Racecourse was over two days on 22 and 23 July 1844, two months after the Pietermaritzburg Turf Club head held its first race meeting. Conducted under the auspices of the ‘Natal Turf Club’ the race meeting featured four races with the main race, the Turf Club purse over two miles, having a stake of 15 pounds.
Racing continued in a somewhat haphazard fashion for a num-ber of years thereafter, but in early 1897 a group of Durban sportsmen and racing enthusiasts met to establish a turf club. A public meeting was called on 1 March 1897 at which 40 gen-tlemen founded the Durban Turf Club. A committee of 15 stew-ards was elected of which W G Brown was the first Chairman. The first race meetings of the club took place on 17 and 20 July 1897 with about 3000 people attending. Who would have known that the Durban Turf Club Handicap run that day and
won by Campanajo would be the first running of what is known today as the Vodacom Durban July! A memorable day in the history of the racecourse was on Satur-day 22 March 1947 when King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and their two princesses visited Greyville. The King’s Cup was run on that day for the first time and King George VI presented the trophy to the winning connections. On 25 March 1995 Queen Elizabeth II, a princess when she had first set foot on the turf of Greyville, now visited as Queen. All went well barring the weather.
After months without rain the heavens opened and it rained re-lentlessly resulting in the loss of the race meeting but not the royal visit, which went ahead as planned. Sunday 25 May 1995 was yet another groundbreaking day for Greyville Racecourse and for racing in South Africa when more than 8000 people visited Greyville for the country’s first Sunday Race meeting. Although night racing had briefly made a showing during the 1945/46 racing season at the Vaal, it was only in 1996 that it was introduced serious-ly into the South African racing picture. Greyville Racecourse, with its beautiful backdrop of the Dur-ban beachfront night skyline, planned their first meeting for
Valentine’s Day that year. The weather again failed to play along and the meeting was re-scheduled to take place two nights later. The meeting proved to be a great success with over 7300 people attending. In 1998 the Durban Turf Club amalgamated with the Pietermaritz-
burg Turf Club and the Clairwood Turf Club to form Gold Circle.

Benoni’s Northmead Mall Set for A Revamp
Originally built by Anglo American, the Northmead Mall was once of the first malls in Benoni. Together with Capstone, OPH purchased the centre two years ago and began renovating it. One Property Holdings in collaboration with Capstone Property Group recently an-nounced the refurbishment of the North-mead mall with the Phase 1 interior renew-al which was completed in April 2013.
Having served the local community for more than 30 years, the revived centre will offer the community the ‘value’ for mon-ey’, convenience and choice. This neigh-bourhood shopping centre comes with well-established awareness. It is roughly 0.5km from the Snake Road off-ramp of the N12 highway and is a left-turn in in centre, giving it a significant advantage. Currently, the 13 966 square metre mall will have an offering of over 40 stores which provides consumers with a compre-hensive retail experience that includes well established anchor tenants such as Pick n’ Pay, ABSA, Mr Price, Sheet Street and Clicks, together with the chain stores, national brand names, exclusive bou-tiques, amongst others. Ample free parking and 24 hour security are also prominent features of the mall’s current offering. Northmead’s most recent additions include: A newly fitted out Ackermans and Pep, Jam Clothing, Rage and African Bank. Business commenced in April and May. “Northmead Mall is the only substantial fashion offering on the northern side of the N12”, says Chris van Reenen, CEO of OPH. Phase 1 of the centre’s new refurbish-ments focuses on the internal flows and the tenant mix of the mall. Phase 2 construction will focus on visibility and accessibility and will see improve-
ments made to the surrounding road and infrastructure, clearer signage, additional parking and a food court. As Northmead is situated on a busy road, OPH is working hard to increase the mall’s visibility in or-der to attract new patronage. To improve flows, the company will be shifting parking lot locations and to ameliorate facilities, new ceilings and lifts will be installed. In terms of the centre’s tenant mix, OPH has focused on developing a community cen-tre of sorts that will service consumers in the heart of Benoni. CEO of OPH Chris van Reenen reveals that by the time the phases are complete, the company will have achieved a collective upgrading of the entire Northmead area, not only in terms of infrastructure but also in terms of aesthetics, security and services. Northmead Mall offers a great platform for a successful renovation, as it is well located and well known in the area. Through the combination of the upgrades to the facility surroundings and an improved tenant mix the shopping experience can be improved. By the end of its refurbishments, shoppers
can expect to enjoy a contemporary and
classy centre with state-of-art security and
modern amenities that are in line with the
latest innovative trends and ergonomics.

If there were any doubts that the light steel
frame building (LSFB) method is appropriate
for upmarket housing in South Africa, then
the magnificent new Kevin Els-designed
home, built by Ivecon Projects in the
new Waterfall Country Estate development
north of Johannesburg, will certainly help to
put those doubts to rest.
The spacious double-story, which has
680m2 under roof and a host of impressive
design features, including breathtaking can-
tilevers, a home theatre, and a glass-walled
wine cellar within the modern kitchen, is a
testament to the possibilities offered by
LSFB.
Construction is significantly faster with LSFB
because the lightweight steel frame is man-
ufactured to spec, in the factory and then
assembled and erected very quickly on site.
Once in place, the building can be enclosed,
and internal finishes such as tiling and
painting, can begin, much sooner than in a
brick and mortar structure. The method
also saves time because it allows different
disciplines to work concurrently.
Saving time is only one of the many ad-
vantages of the LSFB method – others in-
clude environmental sustainability and long
-term cost-saving.
According to John Barnard, director of the
Southern African Light Steel Frame Building
Association (SASFA), explains that LSFB is
significantly more energy efficient than tra-
ditional construction methods – both with
regard to “embodied energy” of the materi-
als and components, as well as “operational
energy” relating to heating and cooling of
the building over its design life. He quotes a
recent research project carried out by the
CSIR which indicates that a LSF building
requires less than half of the energy needed
to heat and cool an equivalent masonry
residential building to comfortable internal
temperatures. This results in significant cost
-saving on heating and air-conditioning in
the long term.
Steel is also a reusable and recyclable mate-
rial, which means that it reduces the overall
carbon footprint of the project and assists
in compliance with the SANS 10400-
XA:2011 national building regulations.
Sven Iversen, founder and director
of Ivecon Projects, the construction and
project management team involved with
the project, has travelled extensively world-
wide and says that in Europe, New Zealand
and Australia, LSFB is the growing trend. “In
South Africa, people are simply used to
brick and mortar building, but it is only a
matter of time before the mainstream
South African building market catches on to
the advantages of the LSFB method.”
Ivecon Projects recently won the Best Built
Home and the Green Design award at the
prestigious Century Properties home show.
From a construction point of view, there are
numerous advantages to LSFB. Steel is une-
qualled in meeting tight construction sched-
ules in any weather conditions, a smaller
construction team is required, and because
a limited amount of masonry work, if any, is
required on site, LSFB ensures a cleaner and
safer construction site.
The silky deep-grey exterior of the house
was achieved using 60mm thick EPS
(expanded polystyrene) lightweight clad-
ding, fixed to a light steel framework. The
expanded polystyrene is plastered with a
special, colour-impregnated polymer plas-
ter rendering. Because no expansion joints
need to be cut, a smooth, waterproof exte-
rior surface is achieved.
Barnard added that projects such as this are
helping to break the myth that quality
structures have to be built using heavy ma-
sonry or reinforced concrete.

With a strong customer orientated focus
and emphasis on technical service, Mapei
South Africa,local subsidiary of the inter-
national Mapei Group, is setting new per-
formance benchmarks for speciality build-
ing chemicals in the construction indus-
try, not only in South Africa but also in
nearby territories.
The recently introduced Mapefix chemi-
cal anchors are styrene-free, two compo-
nent mixtures of synthetic resins, specifi-
cally developed for chemically anchoring
steel and zinc-plated steel deformed bar
in a variety of solid and porous sub-
strates. The versatile products – VE SF for
heavy loads and PE SF for light loads – can
provide anchoring in non-cracked con-
crete, lightweight concrete, stone, wood,
bricks and mixed masonry, and can even
be applied to wet substrates.
Mapefix VE SF is recommended for im-
mersed anchors in marine and industrial
environments. Since the chemical anchor
does not generate the lateral stress associ-
ated with conventional mechanical expan-
sion fasteners, it also provides the solution
for anchoring close to edges or when there
is limited pitch between the bolt holes.
In Botswana, Mapei South Africa recently
supplied Mapefix VE SF to specialist civil
works contractor, RCL Holdings, for three
anchoring contracts on mines, including
anchoring the giant sieves on a diamond
mine. “We have extensive experience in
this type of work and have tried a wide
range of anchoring products but Mapefix
stands out with its exceptional perfor-
mance”, comments the company’s MD,
Robert Lunda.
Using the convenient twin cartridge pack
with the supplied static mixing attachment,
the resin mixture is injected bottom up into
the holes. “There is no waiting as Mapefix
begins curing straight away and there is no
need to rod the holes from top to bottom.
To locate the sieves, we were anchoring 96
anchor bolts, 30 ml in diameter and 1,3 m
long into heavily reinforced concrete and
the time saving with Mapefix was a huge
benefit”, Lunda adds.
Mapei’s range of 1400 advanced building
technology additives, sealants, adhesives
and concrete performance chemical are
recognised throughout Europe, America
and the Far East for their performance
standards and environmentally friendly
formulations.

Seshego mall construction
is on track
The new Seshego Circle Shopping Centre in
the Polokwane suburb of Seshego is well on
track, with construction progressing accord-
ing to schedule
The new Seshego Circle Shopping Centre in
the Polokwane suburb of Seshego is well on
track, with construction progressing accord-
ing to schedule.
Seshego Circle is located at the junction of
Nelson Mandela and Polokwane Drive – the
two main arterial roads connecting Seshego
with Polokwane and the north. It is sched-
uled to open in the last week of October
this year.
It is being developed by the Moolman
Group together with two Polokwane-based
businessmen, Jaco Nel and Sam Mabotja, is
scheduled to open in six months’ time.
lready, some 90 percent of the space at
Seshego Circle has been let – an indication
of just how high the demand is for a quality
retail centre in Seshego.
The centre will serve the local Seshego
community as well as providing a shopping
amenity for some of the more outlying are-
as such as Makgofe, Mobokele and
Perskebult.
Anchor tenants include Shoprite and Cam-
bridge (a Massmart-owned supermarket
chain). National retailers such as Jet, Edgars
Active, Pep, Total Sport, Exact, Markhams,
Truworths, Identity, Mr Price and Rage have
also taken space in the centre, providing
shoppers with the kind of experience they
would expect to find at most modern shop-
ping centres.
The likes of King Pie, Debonairs, the Fish &
Chip Company and a KFC drive through will
provide shoppers with places to have a bite
while they shop. Standard Bank, Nedbank,
Capitec and African Bank will also have a
presence in the mall as the need for bank-
ing facilities is high.
The development of the centre is very much
in keeping with the move by developers
such as the Moolman Group to identify un-
der-serviced areas – particularly peri-urban
areas and former township areas – and
meet the retail needs of local residents who
often have little alternative but to travel
long distances to do their monthly and bulk
shopping.

community are being employed on the pro-
ject. The main contractor, CMC Construc-
tion, is a Polokwane-based company, and
most of its employees come from the
Seshego area.
Similarly, the civil and electrical engineer-
ing consultants and the roofing contractors
also come from Polokwane. A community
liaison officer has been involved from the
outset to manage the relationship be-
tween the contractors and workers from
the community, in order to ensure that
local people benefit optimally from the
work opportunities available. "We are ex-
tremely pleased with the progress on the
centre, and with the fact that it is letting so
well,” says Pieter Beyers, director at the
Moolman Group.

Our methodology entails steel structures that are pre -cut in our factory to a set design and is used for
either commercial or residential projects.
Utilities such as plumbing and electrical can be packaged with the home and are easy to apply
Our completed structures are achieved swiftly and because of the bolt on system, ease of erection
and assembly is ensured! As a result, high level skills are not required.
In addition, our product is flexible in design such that any look to match your brand image and design requirements can be achieved. What is more, the demountable structures are reusable over a period of 5years.
The lifespan of our permanent structures is 150years plus, depending on the application.
Central to the delivery model on which the homes are based is the sourcing and training skills and personnel identified from the local communities in which the system is applied. This is a very important part of the modular system as the creation of permanent employment and the vocational development of communities is crucia l to Sassi and its corporate philosophy.
On being contracted to provide building solutions in a geographic area, Sassi will mobilize and estab-lish a factory or erection facility to supply the building components.
This will boost industrial development in the area and lead to job and skill creation.
35
Demountable structures are available in either 35m 2 or 40m2 units. All components of steel structures
are manufactured under controlled environment at our premises:
•The elements are packed and ready to be transported and assembled using a bolt on system
•Foundations are cast as part of the assembly process.
•For the demountable structures only the holding down bolts are cast in concrete bases
•For permanent structures the holding down bolts and nuts are cast in concrete
The steel elements are bolted on
•Roof is fitted as part of the assembly process

“It is not enough to copy even the very best buildings of another generation or another locality. The method of building may be used, but you must strip from this method all the substance of particular character and detail, and drive out from your mind the picture of the houses that so beautifully fulfilled your desires. You must start right from the beginning, letting your new buildings grow from the daily lives of the people who will live in them, shaping the houses to the measure of the people’s songs, weaving the pattern of a village as if on the village looms, mindful of the trees and the crops that will grow there, respectful to the skyline and humble before the sea-sons. There must be neither faked tradition or faked modernity, but an architecture that will be the visible and permanent expression of the character of the community.” Edward Hollis – The Secret Lives of Buildings (2009) /MKS&KKM.
