This exciting commercial project was at Beyerskloof Wine Estate in Stellenbosch, an award winning wine farm in the Koelenhof area within the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin region. The scope of the project was to create the structure for the restaurant area and wine cellar - Cobute supplied its precast elements for decking, beams and staircase.
This residential project saw the collaboration between the contractor Rob Doughty with Pr. Engineer Alan Hendrie and the Cobute Technical Team. The scope of the project included supplying the Cobute Precast solutions for decking, beams and edge ribs working both on the new and existing structure. Find out how the Cobute Technical Team devised sound technical solution for these residential alterations and additions.
In 2019 Cobute and Geoplast have successfully worked with Westbuild Property Cooperation in delivering 4 residential units at a brand new lifestyle development, Sagewood in Parklands Cape Town. The scope of the project consisted in the creation of a thermally insulated structure, with the use of ventilated raft foundations, and the Cobute precast shutters.
When the Cobute precast shutters for decking, beams and stairs were designed in 1994, the team had one goal in mind - translating designs into light and monolithic structure with easy on-site installation. The interlocking feature of the systems as well as having the principal reinforcement cast at the factory are two of the advantages that guarantee peace of mind. These residential alterations in Newlands, Cape Town have been designed by Pr. Engineer Alan Hendrie, using the Cobute precast systems for decking, beams and edge ribs for the creation of the first floor and roof slab.
For this residential project,designed by Pr.Engineer Alan Hendrie, the Cobute elements were used for two structures, one for the garage and the other one for the main house. While the garage made use of the Cobute decking for its roof slab, the main house presented an interesting design solution. In fact, the integrated systems for beams (83m), slab (192sqm) and edge ribs (22m) were used for the creation of a suspended ground floor on stub columns. The slab span was over 6m.
A three-storey concrete structure with pristine forest views and the Cobute Precast concrete slab and stairs for improved performance. As part of the scope of the project the team devised a technical solution so that upstand beams wouldn’t be used. The final outcome is a great structure and a happy customer.
