The major portion of the mall roof was specified to be insulated with 100mm thick Starlite White faced insulation from D & D Roof Insulations . “ Starlite was the first faced fibre flexible roof insulation material in South Africa to achieve an A1 ( noncombustible ) fire rating according to SANS 428 . This therefore ensures absolute peace of mind for both the developer and insurance underwriters ,” highlights Bryn Doherty , managing director of D & D Roof Insulations .
Over 30 local subcontractors appointed to the project have been hard at work to ensure the deliverables are met and the construction phrase is completed within deadline . The developers have also ploughed funding into uplifting infrastructure in the area , by building a new road and upgrading the existing roads , installing traffic lights and implementing stormwater drainage , sewage and an electricity substation .
Taking Mamelodi by storm
The regional shopping centre has been earmarked as a catalyst for driving and sustaining future development in the vicinity . With creating sophisticated developments as its main priority , the developers also aim to cater specifically for the needs of local communities , such as Mamelodi .
Of the 1 000 workforce on site , around 90 % comprise of local residents and Mamelodi-based subcontractors . In total , some three thousand jobs are expected to be created from the overall development , ranging from temporary construction jobs to future permanent employment for the community to take advantage of .
According to NAD chief executive officer Japie van Niekerk , the impact of this employment boost will in turn improve the lives of many Mamelodi residents . The mall has already , and will continue , to create opportunities for future generations to come .
Through a solid partnership , Mamelodi community members , local police and mall developers joined forces to ensure and promote the safe and successful completion of the development .
The mall opening will also see the re-launch of Mamelodi Plaza and its neighbouring fuel station . The grand opening of Mams Mall is set for late November 2018 .
