As this is the last “From the Desk” for 2010 we take this opportunity to wish our readers a joyous festive season and a healthy & prosperous 2011.

Hans A Schefferlie, executive director

From the Desk

Part 3 deals with Wind actions and thus influences fenestration.

Part 1 summarises the important features of Part 3 as follows:

• SANS 10160-3: Wind actions, covers pro-cedures for the determination of actions on land based structures due to natural winds. The scope of application is limited to the general type buildings and industrial structures (in line with the SANS

10160 series) and is restricted to structures in which wind actions can be treated as quasi-static.

The wind climate given in SANS 10160 is effectively maintained, but its presentation is modified. The basic wind speed is based on an equivalent 10-min average value. The values of the basic wind speed are selected to be equivalent to the 3s gust wind speeds used in the SANS 10160. The wind map is

nominally updated. Terrain categories are modi-fied to present a more even distribution of wind exposure conditions. The wide-ranging additional information on pressure and force coefficients represents a substantial update of the procedures for wind actions on structures.

It has become abundantly clear that any informa-tion regarding wind load published in our AAAMSA Selection Guide for Glazed Architectural Products: June 2008 version 1 is no longer current and must not be used for the determination of wind load on fenestration.

On 1 September 2010 we advised our members, the South African Institute of Architects and the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors that Structural Engineers must provide wind load in all instances in respect of fenestration.

We issued the following Cautionary Notice dated 1 September 2010.

Quote: ”CAUTIONARY NOTICE: WIND LOAD

The SABS published SANS 10160 Parts 1 to 8 - Basis of Structural Design and Actions for Buildings and Industrial Structures in May 2010. In terms of the National Building Regulations this standard is effective from 1 June 2010. SANS 10160 Part 3:2010 – Wind Actions - has published a new approach to determine the wind load on buildings.

We can no longer assume that wind load on fen-

estration as stated in our publications is correct. Members are urged to obtain wind load from Structural Engineers in ALL instances.

Do not determine the wind load independently and always obtain written confirmation from Structural Engineers which wind load is applicable to the project prior to tendering for and commencement of any work. The wind load tables as published in our Selection Guides are hereby withdrawn.

We urge our members to strictly follow the above recommendations to avoid possible claims under the Consumer Protection Act.” Unquote

Our Association issued a further Cautionary Notice regarding the change of method of determining air infiltration.

Quote: “CAUTIONARY NOTICE: AIR INFILTRA-TION

The method of determining air infiltration through fenestration has been changed from xℓ/sec. mating length to 2ℓ/sec/m2. This change may have ren-dered currently held performance test certificates, especially those referring to sliders, invalid.

Members are urged to re-evaluate systems such as patio doors, vertical and horizontal sliders, stack-away doors, sliding folding doors and the like. The 2ℓ/sec/m2 criteria is entrenched in the SANS 204 as well as SANS 613 which will become applicable when National Building Regulations Part X is published.

We envisage this Regulation X together with SANS 10400 XA to be published and in effect by 1 March 2011. Industry has therefore some six months to ensure compliance of their products with the new requirement.

We urge members to adhere to the air infiltration requirements to avoid possible claims under the Consumer Protection Act.” Unquote

We have withdrawn Certificates that do not comply with the latest method and we have updated the Matrix of Performance Test Certificates accord-ingly.

Kind regardsHans A SchefferlieExecutive Director

Most of us are aware that SANS 10160 Parts 1 to 8: 2010: Basis of Structural Design and actions for buildings and

industrial structures was published in May 2010 replacing SABS 0160:1989 Ed.2.

COVER STORY

One company is going to great lengths

to convert ‘dustbowl’ football pitches

into fields of dreams. “Architect and

Specificator” recently spoke to Ayden

Shrives, synthetic turf manager at Belgotex

Floorcoverings, to find out how they’re making a

difference.

“We’ve been involved in a number of exciting soccer

projects,” he tells us. “One of these includes two

full size football fields for the Nike Training Centre

in Soweto. These pitches will be tested for either

FIFA 1- or 2-star rating by the end of the year.”

Another ongoing initiative sees Greenfields working

with LOC project funded by LOTTO, playing an ac-

Fields of DreamsDuring the excitement of the FIFA 2010 World Cup, many of the country’s sporting facilities saw a much-

needed upgrade. With the dissipation of the crowds, attention has also been paid to unearthing South

Africa’s sporting talent.

tive role in the 2010 Local Organising Committee’s

(LOC) Artificial Turf Programme which forms one

leg of their 3-pillar Legacy project. The programme

aims to provide rural, previously disadvantaged

communities with world-class football facilities to

leave a lasting social, economic and football legacy

after the 2010 Football World Cup.

The plan is to build 52 artificial football turfs in

South Africa, one in each SAFA region, with strate-

gic business partners. Lotto has allocated R170.1

million of funding towards the first 27 fields (three

fields in each of the nine provinces). GreenFields

have been awarded four of the confirmed sites

already under construction at Mogwase near Sun

City, Jane Furse in Limpopo, Qedilizwe in Evaton

North and Siyabuswa in Mpumalanga.

Nineteen additional fields are still on tender and

numerous similar initiatives are in the pipeline

with literally hundreds of fields planned for areas

throughout South Africa, addressing a wide range

of social issues.

Major investment“Belgotex Floorcoverings have made a substantial

investment into artificial turf in South Africa,”

continues Ayden. “This investment opens an

enormous new market for the company as well as

exposing the country’s wealth of sporting talent.”

Synthetic turf is used internationally wherever

climatic conditions and shortages of financial and

technical resources deliver below standard pitches

– problems endemic to Africa.

FIFA and EUFA approved artificial turf in 2004.

Favoured for its cost-effective, low maintenance

perfect playing surface all year round, it requires

no irrigation or regular marking. Greenfields offers

the additional benefit of providing specialist advice

to architects involved in design and installation of

new sports fields. ”This adds value to the service

offered by professionals involved in construction

of sporting facilities,” he says.

“Maintenance is simple and can be managed by

a trained groundsman,” Ayden continues. “Daily

brushing in high wear areas and sand or rubber

top ups keep the surface in optimum condition.

We also check the field annually to handle any

other repairs that may be needed.

The plan is to build 52 artificial football turfs in South

Africa



Urban design doesn’t

get the attention it

deserves,” he tells

“Architect & Specifi-

cator”. “Our living areas, par-

ticularly many of our malls, are

becoming so internalised that

we seldom see the sky.”

Taxi timeAlthough it attends to spheres

such as commercial and residential design, the

company’s true strength lies in its urban projects,

among these being the recently upgraded taxi ranks

in Johannesburg and at Baragwanath.

“Our inspiration always comes in response to the

demands set by the client,” Günther explains. “In

most cases, this isn’t just about the owner but also

about the public open space around it. If one area

doesn’t succeed, the others won’t either.

“With all our designs there’s an intensive pre-design

process. We work with a blank page and call in

all the stakeholders to get an acute understanding

of what is needed. We can’t go in as ‘Architects’

with a capital ‘A’ and impose our preconceptions

on everyone,” he smiles ruefully. “Taxi owners,

for instance, have a very strong idea of what they

want and invariably it’s 180° about-face from what

we might assume.”

Transport nodesGünther is also passionate about the manner in

which public buildings should be treated. “To think

that a taxi rank could be created simply by slapping

up a tin shack is not only an insult to the people

who use it, but also to the city around it. Taxis

form part of our country’s transport system and

these ranks are important nodes. They should be

Why do we not spend as much

effort on our ranks as on our airports?

Part of a growing wave of architects

concerned about the current state of

our cityscapes, Günther Wagner of

Urban Solutions is quietly outspoken

about his feelings regarding city

planning.

visitors channelled through the structure by a series of staircases

elevated to buildings of public importance. Why

do we not spend as much effort on our ranks as

on our airports?

“It’s also critical to consider the flow of the design

around the structure. Although both serve the same

purpose, each rank has to be viewed within the

context of its surroundings. The Metro Station was

a very different project to Bara. For instance, Metro

Mall is in a city, Bara lies along a major feeder road,

through low-scaled residential and retail.

“Bara was tricky because it was situated on a long

thin strip. It covers 1.3kms through residential

areas nearing the hospital, and each segment had

to be managed uniquely. Obviously everyone had

their own concerns and each thought theirs was

the most important,” he acknowledges.

Vast cross-section“In a project of this nature the cross-section of

people is vast; we worked with everyone from the

mayor to flower sellers. Communication styles can be

extremely complex so we always bring in a consul-

tant to identify groups. We’ll speak to local leaders

who source spokespeople to minimise channels

and keep things manageable. Usually the design

requires extensive workshopping with individuals

who represent a pyramid of other people.”

He admits that the process can be lengthy and

involved but he appears to enjoy the interaction.

“With Bara we had about 300 meetings,” he

chuckles. “But eventually it gets into a rhythm

and everything runs smoothly.”

When we suggest that urban design must be tre-

mendously demanding Günther assures us that

it’s an area of architecture that he loves. “It’s very

different to residential design but both have their

difficulties,” he explains. “In residential projects

you’re working with dozens of minute details; get-

ting the shade of lime green paint exactly right,

for instance. With public buildings it’s about the

broader brushstrokes. People are more concerned

with getting the facilities they need.”

Material mattersHe has more to say on the topic of paint and

materials, explaining that for public structures,

longevity is crucial. “We love concrete and brick;

keeping the buildings as naked and honest as pos-

sible,” he emphasises. “With so many vital projects

drawing public spending, you have to consider the

possibility that there won’t be money to maintain

the building down the line, so why not go the low

maintenance route?

According to Günther this too, serves a social pur-

pose. Public sentiment is intrinsically tied to the

condition of our urban areas. “A rundown building

doesn’t inspire pride,” he continues. “People will

throw their rubbish on the street if there is already

rubbish there and eventually everyone adopts the

negative attitude of ‘why should I clean it?’”

Bug in the systemHere he returns to his original point regarding ur-

ban design. “The treatment of urban spaces is a

big bugbear of mine,” he admits. “A few develop-

ers monopolise the resources we have, and public

money is spent to support them. We build massive

highways to channel vast numbers of vehicles into

suburbs where half the streets are blocked off. The

result is gridlock because the spaces cannot function

as they were designed to.

“We have to get back to a street culture favouring

mixed use development, where amenities are not

so far that you have to drive to them. We need to

develop a 24-hour culture to encourage better use

of our resources. Working conditions also need to be

reviewed. People spend a fortune travelling to and

from work, contributing to the problems of traffic

congestion and pollution, and clocking up countless

hours of unproductive time behind the wheel.

“Granted, within the South African context security

concerns are an issue, which contributes to our need

to enclose ourselves, but how much safer is a gated

community really? By walling ourselves off from our

communities we’re effectively isolating

ourselves from our real security:

the people we live with.”



South Africa doesn’t rank high among the

greatest ice rink designers in the world;

the Europeans and Canadians have a

keener interest which is hardly surprising.

In some areas, home ice rinks seem as popular

as our swimming pools and are available in both

permanent and portable options.

For competitive purposes, all ice rinks are designed

to meet a standard of 60 x 30 metres. Some public

rinks may vary but these are the exception to the

norm, since the cost of maintaining such a facility

makes it necessary to offer them for competitive

events.

Cool configurationsIce rinks are constructed in three basic formats.

Portable rinks are built on a leveled base over

which a tarpaulin is stretched as a collecting pan.

This is also where the piping system is mounted.

Water is sprayed directly over this to build up the

ice. These are suitable for seasonal purposes, as

well as special events such as ice extravaganzas,

which may be as close to ice as many South Af-

ricans ever get.

Semi-permanent systems are another option, with

portable piping systems fitted to a permanant

foundation. The advantage here is that when the

ice rink is no longer required the piping can be

completely dismantled. If bitumen is used as a

top layer of the foundation when the ice rink is no

longer required it can still be used as a sporting

surface for sports such as inline hockey, providing

better grip that a concrete surface.

Permanent rinks are more complex, requiring a base

layer of gravel and sand incorporating a groundwater

drain. This supports a heated concrete layer which

keeps the ground below from freezing, expanding

and cracking the rink structure. A layer of insula-

tion separates this from the ice-bearing slab, into

which the cooling pipe work is embedded.

Water is sprayed over this layer to form the skat-

ing surface. However, creating an ideal skating

surface isn’t as simple as making a tray of ice

cubes. Freezing a rink correctly takes no less than

34 000 litres of water, sprayed in about a dozen

stages, with some stages laying ice that may be less

than a millimetre thick. Since ice is naturally clear,

some layers require paint to create a background,

often to provide a surface on which to paint field

markings. And ice that’s best for one sport may

be completely unacceptable for another.

Chill outThe real trick to maintaining an ice rink, however,

is keeping the ice frozen. This is done by the

refrigeration plant which includes a compressor,

condenser, evaporator and rink pipes. The complex

piping network houses brinewater, which is kept icy

with the use of refrigerant chillers that maintain a

constant temperature just below 0°C. The pipes,

in turn, freeze the water surrounding them. Chill-

ers vary in size depending on the size of the rink.

Noise levels are also a consideration, with quieter

operation now becoming an option.

With the exception of the introduction of polyethyl-

ene in the 1930s piping systems haven’t changed

much over time, although National Hockey League

facilities still use steel piping since it provides

enhanced heat transfer. These rinks also require

piping to be laid more closely together to handle

the higher heat loads.

Chillers on the other hand, have enjoyed a number

of improvements with welded and semi-welded

plate-and frame chillers becoming prevalent after

the 90s. These have the advantage of expand-

ability along with low refrigerant charge. They’re

also smaller than other varieties and can be disas-

sembled for cleaning.

Compressor technology has kept pace with these

development and large bore and stroke, low rpm

horizontal or vertical compressors have been replaced

by increasingly small, higher rpm reciprocating

compressors. With the international trend towards

large multipurpose facilities with four or more ice

surfaces operating year-round, the refrigeration

capacity is sufficient to use larger screw com-

pressor systems. Higher-efficiency smaller screw

compressors have also made their way into arena

engine rooms. Ultimately, it’s important to ensure

that compressors are selected to match the widely

varying loads in both winter and summer.

Under controlAll of this equipment requires complex control

systems to keep it in check and these too have

evolved over the years. While early engineers faced

the task of factoring in wind direction, changes in

humidity and opening or closing of doors armed

with little more than a thermostat, their modern

counterparts can rely on computerised systems to

handle the job.

These are relatively inexpensive and have the added

advantage of reducing energy consumption. Precise

ice temperature control now can be achieved by

measuring the surface temperature with infrared

cameras mounted over the ice.

Nice icePrecision is important when it comes to ice sports;

considering the size and ferocity of the average ice

hockey player it’s likely that most rink managers do

their utmost to ensure that ice is kept in optimum

condition. A 10 cm thickness is ideal since the

thicker the ice, the softer and slower the going.

Speed is of the essence and professional players

actually freeze their pucks to minimise friction.

Surface condition requires careful monitoring to

handle chips or dents, which could be responsible

for some icy tumbles if not attended to. The Zam-

boni has graced the ice since being invented by

Frank Zamboni in 1947. This lumbering machine

‘grooms’ the surface by shaving off the top layer

and laying down new water which freezes within

10 or 15 minutes.

Another consideration is audience safety. Hockey

pucks have been known to exact a heavy toll and

manent indoor facilities with ‘ice rink halls’

providing permanent piping and infrastructure

to keep the rink iced. These spaces are large,

cold and come complete with locker rooms,

bathrooms, snack bars and stands. This is

still a fairly pale reflection of our international

to social interaction or lifestyle options, with

some even incorporated into gym facilities.

An enterprising researcher fooled a fingerprint ID system

Dawid Jacobs, P2Dss

The advent of electronic document storage

and electronic signatures has put increasing

pressure on the document courier industry.

Where, in the past, important documenta-

tion would’ve been sent to its destination via

express courier, it is now faster, easier and

cheaper to email.

However, there are

important legal

considerations

involved that

may require that certain

documents will always need

to be physically delivered.

“Architect & Specificator”

did some research to get

both sides of the story.

Legal advice“The law requires that some

documents be delivered by

hand,” says Anelda Collins

of Collins Attorneys in Pre-

toria. “If you want to sue

someone for instance, the

original documentation must

be served by a Sheriff, while

subsequent pleadings must

be delivered by hand or by

registered post.

“This makes it easier to keep

three identical files, one for the plaintiff ’s attorneys,

one for the defendant’s attorneys and one for the

Court. These three copies make it

more difficult to tamper with docu-

mentation, since changes would

be obvious if one version differs

from the other two.”

Although arrangements

can be made for electron-

ic transmission via fax or

email, according to Anelda

the problem with electronic

communication is three-fold.

“It’s not always reliable,” she

explains. “You can’t always confirm receipt of

documentation and one party may deny having

received the files.

Determining time-frames“There’s also an issue with scheduling. It’s hard to

determine time-frames for procedures when you don’t

have a record of when a party actually received the

documentation. There’s always the possibility that

someone else opened the email and the intended

recipient never saw the files.

“There’s no guarantee that the files will open on

the other side, or that they’ll arrive in entirety.

Furthermore, the recipient may tamper with the

document. Finally, electronic signatures are simply

too open to forgery.

Loopholes and hackers“Physical documentation avoids the possibility of

people finding a loophole to get out of a contract

by denying they were the ones who signed it. Even

when encoding is used, there’s the possibility of

a hacker accessing your information somehow, so

you can never actually prove who the signatory

was. It is for this reason that legal documentation

requires witnesses.”

Additional research bears this out, with few electronic

signatures being safe from a competent hacker.

Even biometric controls are open to tampering; in

a recent study, an enterprising researcher fooled a

fingerprint id system using gummy bear jelly and

a fair amount of creativity.

“It is much easier to have an original contract fo-

rensically investigated for fingerprints, handwriting

discrepancies etc. In most

cases, paper-based origi-

nal documents stand up

as authentic in courts of

law and those which are

found to be false for what

ever reason are discovered

sooner and more efficiently than

electronic versions.

“The problem with electronic copies is

that they can be altered by anyone with a

knowledge of software. Photo manipulation

is a good example. Electronic management

of documents is a complex process and it is my

tantly, will be available in 40 or more years from

now. Thirdly, the success in change management

Everyone involved must be educated accordingly,”

Dawid elaborates.

Offsite storage the best“We’ve been addressing various ways of ensuring

high-levels of security and the obvious elements

such encryption, passwords and access control

have been addressed. When it comes to optimum

security, secure offsite storage is the answer,” he

says.

The electronic advantageDawid continues, “Paper documents can get lost,

destroyed, damaged or stolen – a huge problem

in any company. Legal documents such as police

dockets get ‘lost’ daily. Once a document has

been captured correctly and according to all rules

and regulations, stored and managed with a full

audit trail, its authenticity can be proven beyond

doubt.”

A document is handled by many people at various

stages of its lifespan. Once scanned and stored,

it remains in the same state as the day it was

scanned.

“With broadband becoming more abundant, large

files can be transmitted worldwide without hassle.

The signing of receipt is the only aspect that needs

to be addressed,” concludes Dawid.

belief that any organisation wanting to

make the full use of the benefits must

engage with a reputable, knowledge-

able company to ensure compliance,

security, authenticity, reliability and

innovation.”

On the other hand…“Document storage has changed drasti-

cally since electronic storage was first

introduced,” counters Dawid Jacobs

of Paper 2 Digital Storage Solutions

(P2Dss). “Scanning of documents has

been introduced as a method of capturing

paper-based information. Paper-based

information comprises the largest part

of unstructured information globally and

it is growing daily.”

“Depending on the software a company

utilises, file transmission can differ. To

ensure security, 128 bit encryption should

be the minimum requirement for any company. The

problem with security is mostly human. If not ad-

dressed correctly, any company leaves itself open

to problems.

“The Electronic Communications Act prescribes

instances where a statutory law (statute or regula-

tions) requires a signature. In such instances, you

can only satisfy these requirement by using an

‘advanced’ electronic signature (s13(1)). These

are electronic signatures that have been accredited

by Government under certain conditions. However,

it’s certainly true that some agreements or activi-

ties cannot be performed electronically. Section 4

provides that certain documents require a signature

on paper.”

“On the software front, there is a huge amount

available that enables any company to capture docu-

ments and data. In my opinion, the most important

requirement of this software is an efficient audit

system, which will at all times show who accessed,

processed, forwarded or even just viewed a docu-

ment, and at what stage this occurred.

Dont leave it up to the IT manager“The biggest error in going electronic is to make it

an IT problem and have the IT manager purchase

an electronic record, document or content manage-

ment programme. Some companies believe that

buying software is the magic wand that will make

all their problems go away. This is a costly mistake

in almost all cases.

“The first step is to consult an enterprise content

management company that has real knowledge

regarding compliance, software, records manage-

ment, forensic knowledge and information security.

Software vendors are springing up daily and their

goal is to sell software - many don’t care about

the rest.

When “Architect & Specificator” speaks

to Philip Nixon, managing director

of PD Nixon Containers, he tells us,

“Container conversions are a very ef-

fective means of providing essential services in

informal settlements.”

“They’re ideal for facilities such as schools and

clinics in squatter camps. They could even resolve

housing problems in rural areas, but residents still

want brick and mortar.”

Squatter campsBy nature, informal settlements tend to be far from

amenities, forcing residents to travel for education

or healthcare. Often children are compelled to

use taxis or walk long distances through unsafe

areas.

“We’ve built a number of schools near squatter

camps,” Phillip continues. “These vary in size, but

generally they incorporate 10 or 12 classrooms,

an admin block and ablution facilities. Sometimes

libraries are included for the more permanent

installations.

“We’ve also installed clinics in similar environments.

They’re small – about 12 metres, incorporating a

bathroom, check-up room and waiting area – but

they can handle 200 to 230 people a day with

two doctors. This can have a tremendous impact

on the community.”

In some instances, clinics are literally on the

move, such as roadside HIV/Aids clinics, which

offer long-haul drivers the ability to check their

status and receive treatment on the road. “We’ve

set up four of these between Johannesburg and

Durban,” he says. “The first was a donation we

made in conjunction with a partner company. It

proved so successful that we were asked to supply

three more.”

Dead zonePhillip adds that other installations have been

somewhat more macabre but equally important.

“A few years ago we converted containers into

mortuaries for the Johannesburg municipality,”

he explains. “Each could accommodate 17 bodies

and an autopsy area. These were situated in and

around squatter camps in the Jo’burg area.”

He highlights a growing concern in a time when

living conditions can encourage the proliferation

of health problems which are often fatal. Rampant

crime in informal housing facilities also exacts a

high death toll. In some instances, the handling of

bodies becomes the task of the local spaza shop

owner, who may have a freezer.

Spending a pennyOther governing bodies have been using the contain-

ers for some fairly proactive purposes too. Durban

street corners have been sporting containerised

public toilets, while Cape Town’s restoration of

crumbling buildings has seen occupants housed

temporarily in multi-storey container blocks.

“They’ve stacked them three storeys high,” says

Phillip. “You can go as tall as you like as long as

you have the locks.

“Residents have accepted the move because they

realise that it’s temporary, and because the blocks

are situated close to existing homes, additional

travel isn’t a problem. Units aren’t huge – just 24

and a half metres with a living room, bathroom

and ablutions.”

Mining rightsPD Nixon has also handled a number of mining

contracts, providing temporary housing for proj-

ects in Africa. “We did an entire town in Angola,”

Phillip elaborates. “It included 300 containers

providing varying levels of accommodation, from

management to contract workers. There were also

administrative buildings and a canteen.”

He adds that one of the big selling points of con-

tainer conversions is the speed of the process.

Transport is simple; since they’re designed to fit

on a standard vehicle and travel on national roads,

no planning or permits are necessary.

Contain YourselfThe time it takes to plan and build clinics, schools and oth-

er vital structures is prohibitive, but people in these areas

still need access to these services.

since these can be lifted up and moved to new

shafts as needed, without affecting cables.”

Phillip mentions that conversion specs vary ac-

cording to the client’s brief, covering anything from

windows and insulation to items such as televisions,

fridges and beds. “Schools, however, are usually

equipped by government, since other companies

will invariably have won tenders to provide this

equipment. For our purposes, it’s usually a case

of allocating sufficient space per student and

sometimes installing chalkboards.”

Giving backThe company has also seen the value in providing

containers as part of its own social responsibility

programme. “We run a soup kitchen in Daveyton,”

smiles Phillip. “It runs daily, feeding 1 100 women,

children and seniors.” As with many good inten-

tions, the programme is not without its hurdles.

“In many cases, efforts such as this meet the

resistance of residents in the area who fear that a

criminal element will be drawn.”

“South Africa has a desperate need to provide

housing and services to its people,” Phillip closes.

“With containers, the solution is simple.”“They’re more instant than Parkhomes, for instance,

since they can be moved easily,” says Phillip. “Also,

installation is as simple as dropping them off and

connecting them to the necessary utilities. Some

He says the current downturn in the

global property markets has seen very

few new developments coming to the

market. This, together with the new

stricter credit laws and uncertainty with regards the

true state of the economy, means that developers

have been focusing on survival with little appetite

or optimism for the future.

“During the past few years, developers’ main chal-

lenges have been to reduce existing stock levels

and get rid of debt. The acquisition of new land

has been the exception rather than the norm with

much fewer rezoning applications being submitted

to local authorities, particularly when measured

against the boom years of the mid 2000s.”

DelaysColin says that traditionally there has been a short-

Stock ShortagesThe development sector is going to be hard pressed to re-

spond rapidly to improved demand for new commercial or

residential stock when the market picks up which will lead

to stock shortages and an inevitable increase in property

prices, warns Colin Green, a director of Rabie Property

Group.

age of zoned land with unpredictable delays being

experienced in the rezoning process aggravated by

cumbersome environmental legislation.

“One would expect that with significantly fewer

new applications being submitted to local au-

thorities they would be dealt with efficiently and

timeously. However, the opposite is true. In the

early 2000s rezoning applications took between

18 months and three years depending on the size

and complexity of the application.

“These days a simple application is taking about

three years with the more complex applications

taking double that. The delays can largely be as-

cribed to a lack of skills within the public sector,”

says Colin.

Residential opportunitiesHe adds that for the past four years Rabie had

been busy with a rezoning application for a 200

hectare site in KwaZulu Natal which will unlock

1 500 residential opportunities and for the past

three years with an application for a 65ha site in

Potchefstroom which will provide 700 residential

opportunities. Both of these still have some way

to go before the correct rights are in place allowing

development to get underway, he says.

Colin warns that when the market recovers it will

be too late for developers to start acquiring land

without the desired development rights already

in place.

“By the time a

developer goes

through the reap-

plication process,

they might well

have missed the

window of op-

portunity in terms

Frank Vos, local MD

of Miele acknowl-

edges that this is

one of the largest

projects of this kind that

the company has ever been

involved in.

Green benchmarkFollowing the event, we

paid a visit to Sergio Aquino

of Lushaka Investments

for more details on the

development. “As recently

as two years ago, intelligent

green buildings were rare,”

he starts. “The Green Star

Rating system has given us

a benchmark from which

to work and we aim to take

these principles through

our Green Park.”

According to Sergio, de-

velopments of this nature

have been on the cards

for some time. “It’s been

a matter of reading market

trends,” he adds. “The wa-

ter crisis, food shortages,

overpopulation statistics

and energy restrictions all

show us that this is the

logical step.”

Lushaka aims to address

these issues with a phased

development which will

ultimately include resi-

dential, office and retail

facilities. He admits, how-

ever, that the concept is a

challenging one. “There aren’t many green service

providers in South Africa,” he explains. “Most are

from overseas. Often the cost of ‘green’ is too high

because of it. The movement is further limited by

the low number of contractors available to install

the systems.

Ahead of time“For example, we’re investigating implementation

of geothermal airconditioning as well as sewerage

biodigestors to produce methane gas for cooking,

but progress is restricted by the products to be

had. It’s good to be at the front of the movement

but we’re ahead of our time.

“It would’ve been easier if we’d started when the

market was better established but someone has to

get the ball rolling. It’s going to be an evolutionary

process if we’re to match Europe. However, since

it’s a phased development, we’ll improve in new

phases as the technology develops.”

He adds that energy efficiency will also be a matter

of educating residents. “We’ll monitor consumption

trends and identify peak periods. By installing gas

stoves, cooking will be less of an energy burden,

although in some cases it will be a matter of en-

couraging occupants to use energy smartly.

“We’re excluding underfloor heating, for instance,

since it’s a big energy consumer. We’ll use geother-

mal airconditioning which is twice as expensive

but it saves 40% on electricity bills. We’re also

limiting temperature control from 20-24º, instead

of the usual 16-32º variation”

Ground upSergio explains that their green principles are being

applied from the ground up. “We’re using recycled

steel and mixing our own concrete on site,” he

tells us. “Not only does this cut costs by re-using

soil from the site as building material, but we’re

also reducing our carbon footprint.” He adds that

recycling is an important issue and hopes that it

will be possible to convince occupants to adopt

this practice by making it easy to dispose of gar-

bage efficiently.

“Pollution – whether it’s rubbish or noise – affects

the environment and everyone in it. People are

drawn to a peaceful environment that reduces

stress. Everything has a knock-on effect. Night



time noise results in poor sleep which results in

ill-health, aggression and people who don’t want

a harmonious place in society.

“Obviously there needs to be a return on invest-

ment but the developer must also be responsible

for upgrading the area. We’ll be providing public

transport to the Gautrain, which allows us to re-

duce parking requirements. People need to walk

more anyway,” he smiles. “I get around town by

scooter myself; it’s so much more convenient.”

The development’s central location, and close

proximity to other public transport nodes makes

this option even more viable.

Farmers marketWith costs set to run to R2 billion, on conclusion of

the third phase in 2015, the Green Park will cover

a complete city block and incorporate six blocks

around an urban square, including offices, luxury

apartments, gym and a 5-star hotel. Interestingly,

a farmers’ market and organic restaurants will be

among the attractions.

“Our organic food emporium will provide food

sourced from local community farmers,” Sergio

continues. “Local sourcing will reduce carbon

emissions through low mileage but there’s the

additional benefit that it’s healthier to eat food

grown in your vicinity because you share com-

mon microbes.

“We’re also hoping to support these producers with

a stable marketplace, making it more viable for

them to survive. Our market will be within walking

distance of a great many apartments and our aim

is that residents will be encouraged to partake in

a healthy, neighbourly lifestyle, getting out and

meeting others in the area.”

always provide the same level of lighting.”

Light luxury“In South Africa we’re used to high lux levels.

We have fantastic sunshine and are exposed to

a lot of light,” Aidan continues. “We expect this

to be maintained indoors. While there are energy

efficient light solutions that can be substituted

quite effectively, it’s not always possible to achieve

this in a large building, such as an office block or

shopping malls.

“I recently visited a mall where the manager

wanted to replace their metal halide bulbs, which

provide bright white light, with LED or CFL. They

would’ve required hundreds of the requested LED

and compact fluorescent light sources to achieve

the same level of illumination,” he says. Not only

would this be expensive, but it’s entirely possible

that the energy consumption would not show a

very marked reduction or improvement.”

Compromising profitsWhile green pundits might say that bright light is a

luxury in the face of saving energy, Aidan explains

that this is not necessarily the case. “Poor lighting

levels in an office will lead to reduced productiv-

When “Architect & Specificator”

speaks to Chris Calitz, direc-

tor: product development and

Aidan Brennan, senior manager:

role of effective lighting. “Lighting by its

very nature consumes energy and gener-

ates heat,” begins Chris. “Wattages can be

reduced in certain cases to energy efficient

light sources, resulting in consuming less

wattage, which equates to less heat and

subsequently less energy consumption by

airconditioning.”

However, the pair advises caution when

initiating a green lighting installation.

“Energy efficient products are suitable for

some, but not all,” warns Chris. It’s important that

‘green’ lighting be specified for applications which

have the flexibility to allow some compromise in

terms of light levels. Aidan agrees, adding: “The

contradiction of going green is that most people want

ity,” he warns. “You don’t want

to bring a torch to work to get

“Retailers also require good light-

ing to encourage sales of their

goods. The ambience of a store is

intrinsically connected to optimum

levels of light, which plays an

important role in displaying prod-

ucts in such a manner that they

attract buyers,” he emphasises.

It would be counterproductive to

compromise sales for the sake of

a minimal saving in electricity.

Creative thinkingIn spite of these words of warn-

ing, Chris assures us that the

company offers a comprehensive

range including the BLV brand

of MR 16 35 watt low-voltage

lamps and Cree LED products

and is able to advise on efficient

use of lighting. “Energy Manage-

ment is not a service offered by Radiant, however

the Project Division does offer lighting design with

energy conservation in mind,” he says.

Aidan adds that in many instances it’s possible to

address the issue with some creative thinking. “For

example, it’s possible to drop from 70 to 35 watts

by using better quality fittings with good quality

reflectors reflectors,” he says. In other cases,

reductions can be realised by combining natural

lighting systems with artificial lighting.

Sun shineSome new retail centres incorporate the ultimate

energy management system. By using skylights

and energy efficient lighting, they’ve achieved a

very green approach. When the sunlight reaches

a certain level, artificial lighting is automatically

switched off. You could say that the sun is our

biggest competitor,” he chuckles.

While this may work in an ideal scenario, such

advanced automated systems are not within the

reach of many. “That’s not to say that it’s impossible

to implement smart design,” Aidan continues. “But

it should be noted that energy efficiency needs to

be looked at holistically.

“Other issues must be addressed, for example air-

conditioning and heating, which are probably the

biggest consumers in a large building. Refrigeration

is also an area which warrants attention. Fridges

in supermarkets should be screened off at night

to trap cold air. “You can’t simply switch off the

lights and think the job has been done,” concludes

Aidan. “We’ve evolved from the candle to the

lightbulb; we don’t want to go back to the candle

to be energy efficient.” Chris agrees, adding: “In a

nutshell each environment and the implementation

of energy saving needs to be looked at in context

to maintain ambience etc.”

WALLS & FLOORS

The history of this flooring style

goes back much further how-

ever, with its origins in the art of

parquetry, from the French term

‘parqueterie’ which referred to the use

of large diagonal squares, or ‘parquets’

in floors. The style was introduced in

Versailles in 1684 as an alternative to

the marble floors that needed so much

washing that the joists beneath the

floors would rot.

Fancy floorsEssentially, the term applies to the geo-

metric use of wood pieces for decorative

effect in both flooring and veneer pat-

terns on furniture. Although floors used

mainly geometrical and angular shapes,

furniture also made use of ‘marquetry’ or curved

and natural shapes.

While the most popular pattern of parquet is the

herringbone style many of us will recognise, the

practice takes many guises. For example, designers

often use timber in contrasting grain, colour and

type to create a variety of patterns. More recently,

bamboo has also become popular due to its low

environmental impact. This trend is echoed in the

fact that most parquet is designed with specifically

harvested hardwood rather than the rare species

used in the past.

Application techniques have changed too. Gran’s

floors were probably applied using hot bitumen,

but today’s craftsmen will use cold adhesives when

laying the tiles. The jury’s still out on whether

our grandchildren will be tap-dancing down our

corridors since only time will determine if modern

glue can outperform its predecessors. The beauty

of parquet lies in the ease with which these floors

can be repaired; it’s as simple as gluing loose tiles

back into place.

New lookAlthough the parquet we remember may seem to

have faded into obscurity, the method has evolved

rather than died out. The influence of parquet is

evident in the interlaced wood panels currently

appearing in beech and walnut and other popular

hardwood options.

Whatever Happened

For those who prefer the style in mod-

eration, parquet borders add interest to

plain wood floors. Alternatively, they can

be used to create wood ‘medallions’ or

design elements that create focal points

in large expanses of floor area.

Whereas history’s craftsmen cut tiles

by hand, and many traditional crafts-

men still favour this approach, today’s

woodworkers are also able to use

sophisticated laser cutting machinery

for speed and accuracy. This allows

increasingly complex and sophisticated

designs. Another departure from tradition

is to use vibrant colour combinations

WALLS & FLOORS

and alternative materials. Many of the

creative work surfacing in vinyl and glass

mosaics may owe their inspiration to

the wood patterns that had their birth

centuries ago.

A piece of history

While parquet flooring is still practiced

by contractors in new builds or reno-

vations, for the purist, little can beat

owning a real piece of history. For the

right price, you can own a floor that once

graced the dining room of an empress

in Vienna, or a castle in Austria. Taking

‘recycling’ to a whole new level, some

original floors have been painstakingly

dismantled and packaged, waiting to

be reinstalled with loving precision to

exactly match the original floor on the

other side of the world.

Today’s woodworkers are also

Safe and Cosy

INSULATION

Architect and Specificator” chats to Cecil

Homan of Eco-Insulation about the impact

that the new Consumer Protection Bill

will have on the construction materials

industry. “The new Bill will give consumers the

right to request full disclosure of the toxic nature

of materials,” he tells us.

Volatile Organic CompoundsVolatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are emitted

by many commonly used materials, often without

the knowledge of those who specify them. For

example, formaldehyde, which is found in many

of the resins and binders used in a number of

insulation materials, is internationally recognised

as a carcinogen.

“To understand the release of VOCs it is important

to understand the nature of current insulating ma-

terials,” he explains. “Many consist of composites

made up of different materials, some synthetic

– such as plastic – or glass. These need a binder

to hold the material together. The binder and as-

sociated processing agents are often toxic.

“Certain common glass binders emit formaldehyde

gas continuously over a long period of time until

depleted. Often when we’ve removed old insula-

tion from a building, we’ll find that the binder has

evaporated completely, leaving the glass fibres

exposed. This material constitutes a health hazard

and should not be handled without protection.

Imagine the material getting into your eyes or

your lungs?

“Currently the packaging warns consumers that the

use of masks, gloves and goggles may be necessary

but no elaboration is given as to why,” he continues.

“Enquiries under the new Bill could require a lot

more detail from the manufacturer.”

Ethical claimsThe Bill will also ensure that suppliers live up to

their marketing promises, Cecil explains further.

“Some advertisements claim that materials have

been SABS tested without specifying that the

product has not, in fact, received SABS approval.

It’s not the same thing.

“Suppliers need to be ethical in their claims. There

is a compliance issue which is a bit haphazard at

the moment. Some ‘eco’ databases allow anyone

in as long as they pay their subscriptions, allowing

them to make anything sound green; it’s a green

compliance minefield out there. Volatile-emitting

materials can be used as long as a minimum

qualifying number of green boxes are ticked and

the project qualifies by scoring above the required

threshold. From a human safety (HSE) or occu-

pancy perspective, this can be misleading,” he

emphasises.

Attention should also be given to the problem of

approved materials being switched with cheap

substitutes knowlingly or unknowlingly by contrac-

tors. Specifiers could be compelled to keep a close

eye on the construction process to ensure that the

materials they specify are actually being used, from

Insulation has been a talking point for some years, particu-

larly with the focus on energy efficiency and green building

practices highlighted by SANS 204. Now, as health issues

gather increasing attention, insulation material is again

coming under the spotlight.

an ‘as built’ perspective.

Natural fibre optionsCorrectly processed natural materials are

one solution, and numerous alternatives

are available, including wool, which is

common in Australia. Eco-Insulation

has also blazed a trail locally with the

company’s cellulose-based product.

“Cellulose arising from recycled paper

is a very viable option,” Cecil assures

us. “The manufacturing process is

innocuous, and dust controlled. It is

treated with a safe, flame-retardant,

blow-in and packaged into recycled bags.

Installation is as simple as pumping it

into the attic space above the ceiling

with a large pipe which is fed through

an access point into the roof. While

it’s necessary to use the services of

professional contractors, it’s safe and

non-invasive insulation with no waste.

CONCRETE & CEMENT

When “Architect & Specifi-

cator” meets up with

Shaun Bendall, Director

of Cemcrete, we expect

to learn something new about cement

finishes, but little could have prepared

us for the sheer scope of creative op-

tions available.

“Simply put, Cemcrete supplies ce-

ment-based finishes for pools, décor,

waterproofing and engineering,” he

begins. “The décor aspect is principally

focused on walls and floors, but we’ve

been expanding these options to incor-

porate a lot of additional applications.”

Anything’s possibleFor décor and pool, the company offers a variety

of colour palettes

to suit almost any

taste. While earth

tones have domi-

nated in recent

times, Shaun as-

sures us that chic,

clean finishes are

as possible with

cement as they

are with any other

coating. A new

showroom in Jan

Smuts Avenue in

Parktown, sched-

uled to open next

year, will reflect

t h i s g r ow ing

trend.

“Here we’ll be

focusing on the

high-end stuff,”

he explains. “We

want to show how

cement can be

incorporated into

a slick design. Ce-

ment is not just a

Throwing Cement

structural element; it has a design aspect that we

hope to showcase.

“There’s so much we can do in terms of the end

result, from smooth, to brush-on and rough textures.

We can also use waxes and polishes to enhance

areas for different effects. Various sealants also give

the choice of gloss, matt, slip-resistant surfaces

where necessary,” he explains.

According to Shaun, the biggest advantage of ce-

ment coating is its durability. “It will certainly last

longer than conventional paint,” he emphasises.

“It’s waterproof, and cost-effective, especially

when you consider that it lasts four times longer

than most other options. It’s also easy to apply,

although as with any product, optimum lifespan

requires correct applications.”

One of a kindFloor coatings are available in a range of colours,

and finish can be as individual as the person ap-

plying the product. “There really is no limit to what

you can do,” smiles Shaun. “You can create your

own tile design to suit the décor. Simply lay the

floor in any size or shape you want, and cut your

own pattern for an unconventional effect.

“We’ve also had interesting results using acid

stains,” he continues. “You throw a white floor

and then apply a stain for a mottled effect that is

completely unique. There’s no way your floor can

ever be replicated.”

room puts Shaun’s words into

perspective. Apart from an

overwhelming variety of ap-

plications, it’s also remarkable

to see what the Cemcrete team

have done with this unexpect-

edly versatile material. Pride of

place goes to a cement replica

of a tree trunk, strategically

positioned next to the original;

even on close inspection, it’s

difficult to tell the real from

the cement version.

Equally impressive are the

light-weight cement panels

which add a decorative touch

to an otherwise featureless

ceiling. Nearby, a deep red

feature wall bears cement

artwork created by local artwork. “We treated

that wall with Cobra floor wax and then hit it

with a blowtorch,” laughs Shaun.

Other clever ideas include kitchen countertops

made out of polystyrene with a sturdy coat-

ing of cement and Cemcrete teamed with a

variety of materials such as sand and organic

matter secured in place with generous lash-

ings of varnish. “The great thing about it is

that you can work with any shape you like,”

he enthuses.

Special effects

A family-run business, Shaun makes a note of

the importance of the design contribution of his

family members, showing us how the ladies

have teamed unusual materials such as straw,

bamboo and in some instances even corrugated

sheeting to produce unusually appealing effects.

“Although people favour the earthy look with

cement, most are astonished when they see

what we can do with colour,” he smiles.

In a display reminiscent of “Rooms On View”

the material is used in serene tones of cream,

shocking shades of red and a strikingly mascu-

line room dressed in black. Cement stairs are

stamped with stencils; baths are fluidly shaped

to complement organic wet-rooms; permanent

‘carpets’ defy the need for vacuuming and zebra

stripes are carved out of plasterwork. “There’s

very little we won’t try,” concludes Shaun. “We

welcome clients who come to us with a chal-

lenge because we love to bend the rules.”

Three new cape flooring projectsabe Construction Chemicals’ popular abecote flooring sys-

tem was used for three new flooring projects in the Cape

province. For the refurbishment of the goods receiving area

at Pick n Pay, Vincent Park, East London, the floor was

initially grinded by approved abe applicator, Taylor Made

Services, before abecote 386 was applied as undercoat.

abecote 386 is a polyamide-cured epoxy mainly used as

primer/filler for porous surfaces such as concrete, plaster,

fibre, and timber.

Peter Jones, abe regional manager for the Eastern Cape,

says two coats of abecote 441 protective polyurethane

enamel coating was then applied to the concrete floors.

“abecote 441 is decorative as well as weather- and wa-

ter-resistant. It also resists aliphatic and other chemical

compounds and is non-toxic when dry.”

For the refurbishment of floors at Super Body Repairers

in Paarden Eiland, Cape Town, the 1 248sq m floor was

initially shotblasted and primed with flooring resin before a

1mm coating of abecote 400 Hi-Build was applied by Cape

Epoxy Flooring Systems, an approved abe applicator.

In addition, abecote WD 337 was the preferred coating

for the refurbishment of floors at Villiera Wines in Stel-

lenbosch.

Du Preez provided advice for the three-coat application

of the product by Villiera Wines after floor imperfections

were repaired with abe’s epidermix 318 polyamide cured

widespread acceptance of the versatility of LEDs in the local

retail and industrial sectors, but we feel that the Aurora LED

range will hold particular interest for the hospitality sector

and project lighting as a whole. However the improvement

of LED technology does not mean that there is no place for

competition swimming and div-

ing pool at St Dominic’s Catholic

School for Girls in Boksburg,

east of Johannesburg, as well

as tiles for the learn-to-swim

pool and change rooms.

“With high water-quality, the

floor and walls of the pool are

clearly visible from the surface.

It was therefore vital that the

quality of construction, and

especially the tiling, had to

be of the highest standard as

the water appears to magnify

any blemishes or irregularity,”

says Neil Fourie, sport facility

design consultant at Platinum

Sport Consulting, the designer

and structural engineer of the

pool. The tiling specification

called for swimming pool tiles with virtually zero water

absorption, to be laid by specialist pooltilers. To comply

with the requirements for this pool, the tiles had to be

imported from Germany.

Tile Africa Contracts specified Interbau-Blink swimming

pool tiles, manufactured at the Blink factory in Germany.

The structure of the pores inside the tile body is obtained

through a process of extrusion and results in a tile that is

frost resistant and has unbeatable bonding strength with

the adhesive. “The Interbau-Blink swimming pool tile is

specifically developed for pools and has a very low poros-

ity and water absorption,” says Leigh McCarthy, regional

sales consultant at Tile Africa Contracts.

The pool shell was designed as a reinforced concrete shell

with external stiffening beams and buttresses. Special

formwork systems were employed to ensure a smooth fin-

ish so that the tiling could be attached directly onto the

concrete without requirements for a smoothing layer in

between. A minor amount of remedial work was required

to achieve this, and after a two-week water test, the pool

was tiled directly onto the concrete without the need for

any rendering.

A 15-metre long learn-to-swim pool was also constructed

and is less than one metre deep throughout, with a ledge

Replacing timber“The Housing and Planning

Department of George Munici-

pality has acknowledged the

quality and long-term benefits

of our products by specifying

the use of our Dappled Rustic

Face Bricks for the upgrade of

all the existing timber houses

in the area. This is indeed a

milestone for us at Corobrik as

it endorses the affordability, du-

rability and performance values

of our products,” says Corobrik’s

Nickie Van Vuuren.

“Being the first company in Sub

Saharan Africa to be awarded

CER (Certified Emissions Reduc-

tions) by the United Nations,

our face bricks are not only

environmentally friendly but

afford enhanced quality of life

and long-term peace of mind.

With our clay face bricks, the

first cost is the last cost. Rela-

tive to the current timber houses, the revamped houses

with their new durable external skin will never require

maintenance again and the colourfast colours will provide

aesthetic appeal that will last a lifetime.”

“Being fire resistant, the choice of face bricks in such envi-

ronments, where the risk of accidental fires are greater, is an

important added benefit. In the unfortunate event of a fire,

residents can rest assured that the inert non-combustible

bricks that now make up their homes will not release any

toxins into the air,” says Nickie.

A double greenThere is growing awareness of the significant impact on

the environment in selecting shredded recycled newsprint

(cellulose fibre) for ceiling insulation. It will prevent up

to 89% of the heat generated in the home from escap-

ing upwards through the ceiling. Cellulose uses harmless

household chemicals as a fire retardant that are about as

toxic as table salt. This also makes the insulation insect

and rodent resistant.

Suppliers of the product Thermguard who produced the

original cellulose insulation in South Africa and have been

manufacturing the product for 26 years, MD Mark Stannard,

says research by CIMA shows that recycled newsprint (cel-

lulose fibre) has the lowest estimated ‘embodied energy’

of any insulation product. ‘Embodied energy’ is the energy

required to produce and transport materials.

“Cellulose also has the largest amount of recycled content,

up to 72% recycled newsprint. It uses less energy than

other manufacturing processes for insulation products,

for both heat and sound applications,” he says. The ‘cel-

lulose’ insulation uses waste newsprint

“While any insulation is better than none, we believe strongly

that the choice of paper cellulose is greener than others.

Because large amounts of discarded newspaper end up

on landfill sites, using waste paper to produce cellulose

insulation diverts waste from landfills,” says Mark.

“Cellulose insulation also prevents the release of ‘green-

house’ gases such as CO2 and methane which are released

when newspaper decomposes in landfills. This newsprint

which would have produced CO2 and methane gases is

now turned into insulation which save the burning of fossil

fuels in power stations which will in turn give off CO2. Thus

cellulose fibre insulation has a “Double Green Effect.”

“We feel that the newsprint-based cellulose story has not

been fully explained to consumers, contractors and architects

and we aim to correct that. The key to manufacturing the

product is to ensure that the chemicals are added to the

newsprint accurately and consistently,” Mark includes.

Reliable dataLighting Innovations is the only commercial fluorescent

manufacturing lighting company in the country with a full

range of measuring equipment in-house.

Simulating designs in 3-D, the company’s Relux

Program employs an average illumination calcula-

tion method. By importing architects’ Auto-CAD

drawings into this design program, the correctly

selected luminaires can be ideally positioned on the

illustrations, which can then be sent electronically

back to architects or specifiers. Relux printouts

provide information on the level of illumination in

colour form, as well as on the average illumination,

minimum and maximum illumination in any posi-

tion of the illuminated area, and on the uniformity

of light, ie, maximum to minimum, maximum to

average and minimum to average.

Another one of Lighting Innovations’ advanced

measuring units, the integrated sphere, calibrates

lamps accurately in terms of lumens emitted and

provides the correct figures to be factored into the

goniometer. This process culminates in reliable

data that can be used in the computer-aided Relux

lighting design, which sets specifiers’ minds at ease,

knowing that all information received is trustworthy.

Taking a further step towards maximising efficiency, Lighting

Innovations has facilitated the progression from a 3×36W

A remote island Development of the tourism potential of an idyllic island

North of Maputo has inadvertently provided an ideal op-

portunity to demonstrate the myriad attributes of timber

in construction. Cova de Tubarao on Macaneta Island, is

a 70km long, 15km wide getaway off the Mozambique

coast, characterised by wetlands and dunes.

Developer/entrepreneur/investor Roelie Jacobs originally

acquired land on the island in 2007 for the development

of a lodge. He subsequently acquired a second section this

year to develop a new lodge, together with a camping site

and chalets. The existing lodge is being expanded with a

new restaurant and bar.

From a structural point of view, the island presents many

challenges. The bulk of the timber is derived from Graskop

in Mpumalanga, supplied by Roelie’s ‘Houtkraal’ timber

treatment plant. Other timbers such as decking, cladding

and plywood come from various suppliers in South Africa,

while thatching reed and grass comes from Macaneta

Island itself.

Logistics wise, Roelie trucks in the timber himself to the

coast where the materials are off-loaded at a ferry point

by hand, transferred to the island, reloaded onto a tractor

and trailer, transported to site and finally off-loaded by

hand once more. Taking into account soil, weather and

other conditions on the island, the timber is fully treated

prior to transportation, with Tanalith (CCA) supplied by

Arch Wood Protection, thus perpetuating a long relation-

ship the company has had with Roelie whose Graskop

operation also supplies his distribution depots in Boksburg,

Mocambique’s Macaneta Island splendour and South African timber working in harmony at Cova de Tubarao

Heidelberg, Witbank, Vereeniging ,Graskop and Kimberley

with treated poles.

The existing structures have stood up well to weathering

and insect attack in the coastal climate over the last three

years, bearing testimony to the effectiveness of the tim-

ber treatment up to H4 (in-ground contact) treated with

Tanalith C wood preservative. Aesthetically the original

lodge blends with the surroundings and its placement

and positioning optimises views and access to the beach

without being intrusive.

ity consumption costs are lower.

Testament to this shift in thinking

in energy is the sign-on of Century

Property Developments to install

Sasol Homegas in the sought-after

Waterfall Country Estate in Midrand,

Johannesburg, providing reticulated

gas to about 2000 homes.

“Many South Africans are thinking twice about how they

make use of energy at home and at work. Sasol Homegas

provides them with a safe and clean energy solution that

significantly reduces electricity costs in the home. Waterfall

Country Estate is an example of a step in the direction of a

greener future,” says Pieter Claassen, Sasol Oil’s Manager

New Business Development.

revision of SANS 10162:2 Limit-

states design of cold-formed steel-

work. ”The topics are related as the

structural design of light steel frame

buildings is carried out according to

the cold-formed steel design code,”

Barnard says.

SANS 517 covers all aspects relat-

ing to the design and construction

of light steel frame buildings (LSFB)

– from foundations to roof structures

and insulation. “We presented an

overview of the rapidly growing light

steel frame industry in Southern Af-

rica, before introducing them to the

typical components of and materials

used for LSFB’s. SANS 517 covers

not only the steel structure, but also

the cladding, lining and insulation of

LSFBs and it is of great importance

to note that buildings built to SANS

517 will already comply with the

energy efficiency standards laid down

in SANS 204,” he says.

SASFA co-opted two local engineers and experts to assist

in presenting the course – Anna-Marie Sassenberg (AMS

Consulting) and Barend Oosthuizen (By Design).

Light steel frame building – ‘the interest in this relatively new but burgeoning building

technology is growing in leaps and bounds’

Sasol Homegas provides business, industry and households

with superior water heating, cooking and spatial heating

solutions, using reticulated Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)

from bulk tanks that range from 6,200 to 22,500 litres

making this project the first of its kind undertaken in this

large scale within the South African retail sector.

Sourced from a custom-fitted Sasol tank located on the

premises, Sasol’s LPG system can be installed to meet up

to 70% of household energy requirements – from heat-

ing rooms and water to stoves and braais. Whatever the

specification, Sasol Homegas is installed by highly qualified

and experienced professionals to meet all international

and local safety standards, as enforced by ISO, the South

African Bureau of Standards and the Liquid Petroleum

Gas Safety Association of South Africa. Sasol Homegas

equipment is warranted.

SubscriptionNews & ViewsAs required by law, Sasol adds a unique odour to LPG so

that the slightest leak is detected immediately. The system

is serviced and maintained by highly qualified profession-

als, while undertaking visual inspections regularly, testing

functionality and conducting 6-monthly leak-detection

tests, ensuring customers have a constant, reliable source

of alternative energy.

Stating its caseThe International Council

for Societies of Industrial

Design World Design Capi-

tal 2014 competition has

been launched and Cape

Town’s intention to bid

formally registered.

The considerable benefits

include a year-long focus

on how design can be used

in practical but also intan-

gible ways to solve urban

problems and enhance

city living. The potential

spin offs are substantial

and would not be limited

to Cape Town. Voted one

of the 10 cities that are

most likely to become a

global sustainability centre by 2020, Cape Town seeks to

emphasise the potential of design in the “redesign” of an

entire city in its quest to be more inclusive and humane.

If Cape Town is successful in its bid, the award will enable

the city to set an example of the benefits of design for the

whole country. The advantages and potential achievements

of design, if observed by the other cities, will permeate

throughout the country. Previous World Design Capital

Cities such as Turin in Italy (2008) and Seoul in Korea

(2010) have experienced the benefits of the extensive

exposure the award generates. The award also generates

a huge boost in tourism through international interest in

design events.

COMPELLING REASONS TO SPECIFY EPS!

P. O. Box 7861 Halfway House, 1685 t: 011 805 5002; f: 011 805 5033;

e: [email protected]

When it comes to insulation, here are 10 good reasons for using EPS

1. Over the past six decades, EPS has become accepted world-wide as the safe,economical and energy-saving form of building insulation.

2. EPS is compatible with cement, concrete, brick, masonry, mortars, plaster and bitumen-based damp-proof membranes.

3. EPS is lightweight and easy to work with, being supplied in moulded forms to required shape and size, or as large blocks for cutting into sheets and shapes.

4. EPS is moisture-resistant and retains its thermal properties.

5. EPS is rot-proof and durable. Correctly installed, EPS remains effective as a thermal insulation product for the duration of a building.

6. EPS is . styFReneTM

7. EPS is energy-saving and helps conserve energy usage in other areas such as

8. EPS is environment-friendly, consisting of organic materials (primarily carbon and hydrogen) making it one of the most ecologically harmless products. It contains no CFCs and does not damage the ozone layer.

9. EPS is easily disposable. Correctly incinerated, 100kg of EPS polystyrene leaves just 0,01kg of

ash, and the gases emitted are non-toxic.

10. EPS is recyclable.

Whichever way you look at

ten out of ten.
