Technicrete’s DZZ pavers provide a durable surface for Olifantsfontein Fire Station’s forecourt
Pavers take the traffic load
T
he City of Ekurhuleni’s new Olifantsfontein Fire Station replaces an older facility built in the 1940s and caters for current and future urban expansion in the area. The new station’s forecourt was paved with Technicrete’s Double Zig Zag (DZZ) pavers and Fig 3 kerbs, providing space for five fire trucks, three ambulances and a helipad. “The pavers we required needed to be able to withstand the harsh and frequent traffic load,” explains Zikhona Lukani, site agent,
Pmash Project Management. “We found these elements with Technicrete, who always met delivery scheduling and offered sound technical assistance.” Between February and March 2020, Technicrete supplied 4 400 m2 of grey 80 mm DZZ, 1 807 m2 of grey 60 mm DZZ and 1 000 mm of Fig 3 kerbs to the Olifantsfontein Fire Station project. “It is an economical paver, but still gives the project an impressive forecourt appearance and our Fig 3 kerbs added the finishing
touch,” says Luan van der Berg, sales consultant, Technicrete. Technicrete forms part of the Infrastructure Specialist Group of companies. Technicrete’s DZZ pavers are available in a variety of colour tones and sizes. Due to their durability and longevity, they are well suited for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Examples include petrol station forecourts, factory roads, suburban streets and areas used by forklifts and other yellow metal equipment.
