Projects

Decorton has successfully completed a number of commercial & domestic installations
of retaining wall systems for landscaping purposes, and rockface block installations.
Work ranges from noise barriers to heavy-duty retaining wall systems.

Commercial projects include work done at

  • Tygervalley Shopping Centre,
  • Victoria & Alfred Waterfront,
  • Llandudno main access road
  • Helderberg Village.
  • Bayside Shopping Centre,
  • Tygerberg Office Park
  • Tygerberg Waterfront

The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront needs no introduction as one of Cape Town's major tourist destinations.

The V & A project was jointly designed with a landscape architect & engineer so as to incorporate a large vertical planter for palm trees and another long vertical wall for a bus bay & shelter.

This was achieved by using a Terraforce wall system which allows the change of wall angles and the opportunity to maximise plantable areas, as well as being a proper retaining wall.

The final product speaks for itself


A number of mass gravity and reinforced Terraforce retaining walls have been constructed in the V & A over the years. Space limitations and the proximity of busy roads made it necessary to resort to some creative planning and design.
