Bricks & Paving CBP used in Shovagakula paving project Precast concrete block pavers (CBP) and kerbing have been used to construct safe, attractive and durable pavements in Olievenhoutbosch Ext 36 for both pedestrians and cyclists. Known as the City of Tshwane’s Shovagakula (Easy) Paving Project, it is being run over three years in several phases and aims to encourage the use of bicycles in the place of cars for travel within Olievenhoutbosch. Phase 1, which commenced in April and completed by the middle of June, involved the construction of pavements 2.2m wide and 1 600m long using 50mm bevelled pavers, as well as Figure 10 and 12 concrete kerbing supplied by Concrete Manufacturers Association (CMA) member, MVA Bricks. Construction involved compacting in-situ material to 90-93%, adding and compacting a 150mm layer of G5 mixed with four percent of cement, and topping that with 20mm of river sand. Once the pavers were laid, they were covered with plaster sand to fill the joints between the pavers. The surface was then swept and compacted to form a very attractive and hard-wearing surface. The terracotta coloured pavements were edged with a header course of charcoal pavers, which were also used for decoration strips at every five metres. The main contractor on Phase 1 was MK Brick and Earthworks, owned and run by Nathaniel Kgobe. Newly laid pavers at The City of Tshwane’s Shovagakula (Easy) Paving Project in Olievenhoutbosch Ext 36. MVA Brick’s Figure 12 kerbing is installed prior to the construction of CBP pavements. Kgobe says that 35 people were deployed for the execution of Phase 1, 28 of whom were unskilled members of the local community. “We trained them in all aspects of CBP surfacing including the preparation of the sub-base, the actual laying of pavers and the installation of kerbing, and they have acquired skills which they can use on other projects of this nature,” said Kgobe.
