Buffelsdraai Landfill Lining Installation

The Buffelsdraai Landfill Lining Installation project began at the end of March and we are now passing the critical 'spine' of the cell. Ramtar Construction was contracted by Melki Civils and Plant Hire to install the Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs) as well as supply and install the geotextile protection layer over the HDPE. 

Challenges include coordination between 3 contractors working in the same space, as well as keeping a sharp eye on the sky as the GCL must not get wet in the rain and has to be covered pronto if there's a downpour - cricket pitch style! 

With 31500 sqm to cover, we have found our rhythm and the team has come together nicely. Here's hoping for good weather in the next couple of weeks!

What a beautiful place to work! We were recently contracted to upgrade Mkhizwana Road in the Valley of a Thousand Hills near Inchanga. The original gravel road was realigned and new G5 and G2 layers were added to the pavement before topping it off with asphalt. Great team effort from all involved!

Mariannhill Sidewalks

In 2015 we successfully constructed 875m of sidewalks on Mariannhil Rd and Young Rd in Pinetown. It was a little challenging to work next to the busy road and try to cause as little disruption to pedestrians and residents alike. In the end we came out on top and I'm sure that the community are very glad to have a decent sidewalk to use.

181 Beechgate Crescent - Subsoil Drainage

11/22/2013

6 Comments

 
Ramtar Construction were recently approached by ShreeProp, a large Durban based property development group, to install subsoil drainage in a new warehouse facility in the Southgate Business Park. The property was continually flooded with groundwater and a solution was needed to ensure that the layerworks for the pavements at the rear of the building would maintain their integrity. Ramtar Construction installed innovative flownet cut-off drains on the perimeter of the building and are currently installing a herringbone system of subsoil drains over the rest of the area. The rain over the past months has not helped and site conditions are challenging to say the least!

The construction of the Kingfisher and Francolin dams at Simbithi Eco Estate was completed on the 22 July 2011, just in time for another bout of heavy rain over the weekend that helped to fill the dams. Ramtar Construction lined both dams with Geosynthetic Clay Liners (GCLs), which is a specialist lining product.
