All in Commercial Structures
This commercial project is an addition to an existing factory in Montague Gardens, a dynamic business suburb in Cape Town. The scope of the project consisted of creating the structure for the new section using the Cobute Precast decking and beams; the stairs connected the existing ground floor to the new one. The main advantage of using these integrated solution is casting both Cobute elements in one pour, greatly reducing concrete and time costs as well as reducing cracking and cold joints.
