Project Type: Roof Treatment and Palisade Fence Installation
Budget: R 299,000

Background
Mowana Properties contracted Cush Developments to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades at the Eastwood Village Shopping Centre. The project involved treating the sink roof for rust and painting it with a 2-coat SABS bitumen silver roof paint, as well as installing new palisade fencing and gates. These upgrades were necessary to improve the structural integrity and security of the shopping centre.
The Challenge
The project posed several challenges:
- Corrosion Control: The sink roof had significant rust, requiring effective treatment to prevent further deterioration and ensure long-term durability.
- Aesthetic and Functional Balance: The roof treatment needed to not only protect the structure but also provide a visually appealing finish that aligned with the centre's aesthetics.
- Security Enhancement: Installing robust palisade fencing and gates was crucial to enhancing the shopping centre's security, which required precision and high-quality materials.
- Budget Constraints: With a budget of R 299,000, the project demanded careful financial planning to deliver top-notch results within the allocated funds.
The Solution
Cush Developments implemented a strategic approach to meet the project's requirements:
- Rust Treatment and Roof Painting: The team began by thoroughly treating the sink roof to remove rust, followed by applying two coats of SABS-approved bitumen silver roof paint. This process ensured long-term protection against corrosion while providing a sleek, reflective finish.
- Palisade Fence and Gate Installation: Cush Developments installed high-quality palisade fencing and gates around the shopping centre, significantly enhancing security. The installation was executed with precision to ensure durability and effective access control.
- Cost Management: Through efficient resource allocation and procurement of quality materials, Cush Developments successfully managed the project within the R 299,000 budget, without compromising on quality.
Results
The project was completed on time and met all of Mowana Properties' expectations. The treated roof now offers extended durability and a modern appearance, while the newly installed palisade fencing and gates provide enhanced security for Eastwood Village Shopping Centre.
