Belair Mall, Fourways - Fight Club

Commercial Renovation for Fight Club: Belair Shopping Centre, North Riding

Environmental Pro Construction (EPC) successfully executed a comprehensive commercial renovation at Belair Shopping Centre, transforming the former Work Central office into a purpose built space for Fight Club. The project required precision and adaptability to meet the client’s unique requirements while adhering to stringent industry standards.

Our scope of work included the removal of all existing brickwork, partitioning, aluminum frames, and ceilings to create a blank canvas. The floor was meticulously screeded to achieve a level finish, and a new wall was constructed with integrated soundproof panels to minimize noise transfer to the adjacent conference room. Plumbing was sealed, and electrical outlets were strategically prepared for streamlined future connections.

To enhance safety and functionality, we installed a compliant fire sprinkler system, reconnected the air-conditioning system, and implemented a suspended ceiling with precise grid work. The space was primed and painted to a high standard, and a contemporary aluminum double door was installed to complete the project.

This renovation reflects EPC's expertise in delivering high quality commercial solutions, combining efficiency, attention to detail, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.

Fourways Golf Estate, Selbourne

Case Study: Comprehensive Commercial Painting and Restoration at Selbourne Building, Fourways Gardens Estate

Challenge

The Selbourne Building at Fourways Golf Estate required extensive restoration and painting to address significant wear and tear. The exterior staircases and metal railings exhibited heavy rust, while the wooden beams showed signs of weathering. Numerous cracks in the plaster around the brickwork, both internally and externally, further compromised the building’s aesthetics and structural integrity.

Lonehill Shopping Centre - Roof Repairs

Case Study: Roof Repair at Lonehill Shopping Centre

Challenge

A busy commercial property in Lonehill, namely Lonehill Shopping Centre, faced persistent disruptions caused by leaks from an improperly installed IBR roof. The rainy season worsened the situation, with water ingress impacting tenant operations and threatening sensitive equipment. The roof had a history of temporary fixes, with poor drainage and insufficient insulation adding to escalating maintenance costs.

Solution

Environmental Pro Construction (EPC) conducted a comprehensive assessment, uncovering improper installation techniques, inadequate flashing, and blocked drainage systems. To address these issues without exceeding the client’s budget, EPC developed a targeted repair plan:

Carefully removing existing IBR sheets to locate and fix leaks.

Reinstalling the IBR sheets with proper alignment and secure fastening.

Installing new flashing in critical areas to prevent future leaks.

Clearing and optimizing drainage systems for efficient water flow.

Enhancing insulation in accessible areas to improve energy efficiency.

Outcome

The repaired roof now effectively withstands Lonehill’s rainy seasons, eliminating water ingress and protecting tenant operations. Optimized drainage prevents pooling, and improved insulation contributes to lower energy costs. This was a cost effective solution, which extended the roof's lifespan without requiring a full replacement. Certain areas of the roof will have to be replaced at a later stage due to improper installation techniques.

Sandhurst Towers, Sandton

Case Study: Roof Slab Rectification at Sandhurst Towers Penthouse, Sandton

Challenge

The uppermost penthouse of Sandhurst Towers, overlooking Fredman Drive, experienced significant water ingress into multiple units below. The issue stemmed from improperly leveled roof areas and unregistered renovations made by the previous owner. Poorly installed and misaligned drainage points exacerbated the problem, causing extensive leaks and structural concerns.

Solution

Environmental Pro Construction (EPC) conducted an in-depth inspection and assessment of the roof slab. Using our specialized and confidential techniques, we identified multiple compromised areas that required immediate rectification.

Key steps included:

Drainage System Rectification: All improperly set drainage points were corrected and reconnected to the main outlets to ensure efficient water flow.

Leveling and Screeding: The roof slab was re-screeded to create an adequate fall, ensuring proper channeling of water to the adjusted drainage points.

Waterproofing: Advanced waterproofing systems were applied to seal all compromised areas. These methods remain proprietary and were executed with precision to maintain the integrity of the structure.

Outcome

The rectified roof slab now prevents water ingress, ensuring the protection of multiple units beneath the penthouse. The improved drainage system and proper leveling provide a long term solution to previous water management issues. This critical rectification enhanced the building's structural integrity and tenant satisfaction.

EPC’s expertise in addressing complex rectification challenges reinforces our commitment to delivering durable and effective solutions for high-end residential and commercial properties.

Re-roofing, Sandton

Case Study: Roof Replacement at Hyde Park Multi-Housing Complex

Challenge

The Hyde Park Multi-Housing Complex experienced widespread leaks affecting multiple units. The issues stemmed from a previous roof replacement where the original slate tiles were replaced with Harvey metal tiles. While lightweight, these tiles were easily dented, prone to damage, and improperly installed. The incorrect layout and compromised underlying woodwork further exacerbated the problem, necessitating a complete roof overhaul.

Solution

Environmental Pro Construction (EPC) conducted a comprehensive assessment of the roof structure, determining that it was sound enough to accommodate more durable roofing materials. After consulting with the client, we recommended replacing the Harvey metal tiles with Double Roman concrete tiles for enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal.

Key steps in the project included:

Removal of Existing Roof: The Harvey metal tiles and damaged underlying woodwork were carefully stripped and removed.

Installation of Underlay Membrane: A high-quality underlay membrane was laid across the entire roof surface to provide an additional layer of water resistance.

Reconstruction of Wooden Grid: A new wooden grid structure was constructed to accommodate the Double Roman concrete tiles, ensuring proper alignment and stability.

Tile Installation: The new Double Roman concrete tiles were meticulously installed, with special attention given to sealing critical areas such as chimneys.

Flashing and Finishing: Cover and ridge flashing were set in place to ensure a weather tight finish and prevent future leaks.

Outcome

The newly installed Double Roman concrete tile roof significantly improved the durability and functionality of the housing complex. The robust materials and precise installation eliminated leaks, enhanced the overall aesthetic, and increased the property’s value.
