PROJECTS




The affordable retirement village in Namibia.

In total, around 25 000 blocks
were installed.
Chris Schutte from Namwall says, “We
consulted with Terrasafe, Terraforce’s
professional design service, and had a
design ready in no time. Most of the
proposed rock face block walls were
straight forward, with the higher ones
requiring a double skin of L12 blocks for
extra reinforcement. In addition to the
walls inside the property, a river
running alongside the retirement
village needed erosion control retaining
walls, in case of heavy water run-off
during the rainy season. In total, around
25 000 blocks were installed.”
The project was completed in
February 2015, with landscaping by
Andre’s Landscaping adding the final
touches to the walls.
