Stefanutti Stocks Geotechnical (Pty) Ltd has been awarded the contract for the dolomotic solution for the high-volume packing facility for client Adcock Ingram Healthcare in Clayville, Olifantsfontein.
The project commenced in September 2009 and entailed the rehabilitation of two possible sinkholes.
We drill 114mm diameter holes using a down-the-hole hammer and then grout up the voids under pressure by pumping in a 5MPa sand-cement grout mix.
We measure and monitor using state-of-the-art electronic Jean Lutz (drilling) and Red Lion measuring equipment (grouting).
At the beginning of October the project had reached its half way mark and 481m3 of grout had been pumped.
Site agent Ulrich Cooke and foreman William Nhlapo are happy with progress on site.
