Kerbs are used on the edges of roads and side-walks. Marracon is experienced in this type of work.

Edging and Kerbs

Kerbs (raise or flat edging) are typically used on the edge of roads and side-walks. The profile (shape) and height of kerbs vary according to the application.

Kerbing is a versatile product that provides both a neat finish as well as practical uses. The most obvious function of kerbs is to guide storm water to catchment structures and precision measurements are required to ensure that no puddles are formed.

Two construction methods are used for the installation of kerbs and edging; in-situ casting or packing pre-manufactured blocks (pre-cast).

Paving - what you need to know

Paving blocks are available in a wide selection of shapes, sizes and colors making it possible to turn a paved surface into an artistic expression which has made it a long-time favourite with landscape artists and garden designers.

Shape, size and color are considered when planning the top surface and beauty, while thickness and strength of the paving blocks are practical considerations depending on the weight and volume of traffic that the paved area would have to accommodate.

Public side walks and private drive-ways are the best known use of paving blocks, but paving has also become an attractive alternative for road construction in residential developments. The flexible nature of the paved surface also makes it ideal for intersections and road crossings.

Gabions are used for erosion control structures. They also stabilize steep slopes and help to prevent erosion.

Gabions - what are they?

Gabions are wire mesh baskets compactly filled with rocks, properly wired together for construction of erosion control structures and to stabilize steep slopes and prevent erosion.

Most of us are familiar with the beautiful use of gabions as stabilization of cuttings through mountain passes, but the practical applications for gabions are vast. These rock-filled baskets are often used as retaining walls for highly erosive materials, bridge abutments and outlet aprons.

Earth Dams

Water feature dam The design of earth dams vary vastly according to the application necessitating their construction and the characteristics of the terrain.

Esthetically pleasing earth dams and water features as part of the development of ecologically friendly developments serve the dual purpose of encouraging a rich bird life and the creation of small irrigation infrastructure.

Earth dams form an integral part of game parks and nature conservation areas. Careful observation and surveying ensures the enhancement of the natural features.
