At this factory site in Durban, the existing structure was demolished to make way for new construction works. Once demolition was completed and the area was cleared, preparation began for the installation of a new concrete floor slab.

Following the festive break, work resumed on this project to address a void that had formed beneath an existing factory floor slab. Voids beneath concrete slabs can develop over time due to soil movement, settlement, or erosion, and if left untreated they may compromise the stability of the floor.

Work has been ongoing along the uMngeni–uThukela pipeline as part of a broader restoration and protection project. This pipeline forms an important part of the region’s water infrastructure, making maintenance and rehabilitation essential for long-term reliability.

During this project, it was identified that several concrete plinths had been cast below the required height. In addition, the installed anchor bolts were not long enough to properly secure the equipment that would be mounted to the plinths. If left uncorrected, this would have prevented the equipment baseplates from being aligned and fastened correctly.

This project involves the installation of a reinforced concrete floor slab for an industrial facility. Large industrial slabs must be constructed to handle heavy loads, regular machinery movement, and demanding operational conditions, making careful preparation and placement essential.

BLOC Concrete Solutions recently completed the installation of a pump base for one of our clients. The project involved accurately positioning the pump and ensuring a secure and durable connection between the equipment and its concrete foundation.

As part of an ongoing project, the BLOC Concrete Solutions team carried out concrete surface preparation using a mechanical scarifier. This process was required to remove existing surface coatings and prepare the substrate for further treatment.

BLOC Concrete Solutions recently applied carbon fibre strengthening techniques to increase the load capacity and stiffness of a concrete structure. This modern reinforcement method enhances structural performance without adding significant weight or bulk.

BLOC Concrete Solutions was recently engaged to perform a precision roof slab opening as part of a structural modification project. The goal was to create a new access or service route while maintaining the integrity and load-bearing capacity of the existing slab.

BLOC Concrete Solutions completed a precision curbing and drainage project in Camperdown aimed at improving pedestrian safety and water management. The project required accurate measurements and high-quality concrete finishing to ensure optimal performance under real-world conditions.
