Recycled polystyrene used in construction of new mall

More than 15 t of recycled expanded polystyrene have gone into the production of 20 000 of alternative building company Greenlite Concrete’s concrete blocks for use in the new Table Bay Mall that is under construction. The 65 000 m² mall, which is expected to open in September, is located on a 20 ha site on the corner of the R27 and Berkshire Boulevard on the West Coast. Vivid Architects and Group Five Construction specified Greenlite’s concrete blocks for use primarily on the fire escape passages, owing to the product’s fire rating.
