Durban's Electron Road Waste Transfer Stationefficient cost-effective transportation of waste material

摘要

Construction on this R140 million project started on 12 March this year and will continue for 78 weeks, although the contractor is targeting an earlier completion date. Piling and layer works are currently in progress. According to Brad Wyatt, senior contracts manager, Aveng will be using a unique approach to the required 156 concrete columns: "Instead of doing 7.5 m columns in the conventional way, we will be pre-casting them on the ground and then lifting them into place," he says. "This will result in outstanding quality, plus a safer and quicker method than the conventional way."
