Our latest project took us on an extraordinary journey to the picturesque landscapes of Steyn City. Here, we were tasked with a unique project – crafting an exceptional retaining wall that seamlessly blended beauty and functionality.
The client’s vision was clear: level the steep embankment that led to the serene dam and create a sturdy, two-meter high wall with dimensions of 500 by 500 millimeters. The challenge? This wall needed to span a staggering 1413 meters, making it a formidable engineering feat.
Yet, this project wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was about creating an environment that was both functional and sustainable. The wall wouldn’t be a mere barrier; it would provide a stable foundation for a walkway, allowing easy access while preserving the natural surroundings.
However, as with any undertaking, challenges arose. A leaking pool threatened the integrity of our work. To combat this, we carefully installed geotextile at the bottom, back, and top of the wall. This not only strengthened the structure but also set the stage for a harmonious coexistence of nature and engineering. Soon, greenery would flourish, gracefully draping over the baskets and weaving a tapestry of green and stone.
Steyn City, with your clear vision, you’ve inspired us once again. We’re proud to have been part of this remarkable project, turning dreams into reality.
