At the gala banquet ceremony
for the bi-annual CMA Awards for Excellence, held at the Theatre
on the Track, Kyalami, Gauteng, October 9, Terraforce once
again dominated the segmented concrete retaining block industry,
taking home all six possible awards in this category. Out
of 13 submissions in the retaining walls elements category,
eight were from Terraforce and four of these won all the awards
allocated to the category, firmly cementing Terraforce’s
position as a
market leader in this field.
Also see won in [1998][2000][2002][2006]
Mr. Rust, owner
and director of Terraforce, is adamant in passing his thanks
to those who have helped him - over the past
years - to build up a successful and thriving business: “our
success is largely due to a well oiled team effort and we thank
our licensees and recommended contractors for their creative
and dedicated input and continual support”
Two national CMA awards –
that are only conferred if the judges feel the entries meet
the standards worthy of such an award - were presented to
projects utilising Terraforce blocks, of which the most striking
is a large installation on Dimension Data Campus in Gauteng.
Here 38 000 L18 blocks with a rock-face finish were used to
create a terraced application to accommodate spectator seating
and vertical walls.
Judges commented on the “good
engineering and overgrowth, as well as good variety and combination
of materials that blend in well with the architecture”.
