Dispute resolution
She explains that there is a
move in the industry towards
favouring contracts that stipu-

arbitration rather than through
litigation. “It makes a lot of
sense because disagreements
can be resolved quicker and
with less expense than going
through the courts. An award
can be made in just a few
months and is final, binding
and enforced by the court.
“The practice is commonplace

Tania explains.

According to the Law of Arbitration, arbitration must

“There are too many instances in which one of

adds. “It’s often a case of a large company taking
advantage of a smaller party who is not able to
litigate fully for financial reasons or some similar
restraint. These people need representation too,
regardless of their stature in the industry.”
Examples of ‘David & Goliath’ claims in the industry

Call for entries
Archiprix International invites all universities and
colleges teaching architecture, urban design and
landscape architecture to select their best gradu-
ation project and to ask the designer(s) to submit
the selected project for participation.
Designers who have graduated since 1 July 2008
are eligible to participate and projects can be sub-
mitted until 1 September 2010. All projects will be
presented in an exhibition, on the website, and in
a book containing a DVD and all the designers will
be invited to the workshops which will be held in
May/June 2011 in Cambridge USA. Participation
is free of charge.
After four successful editions, Archiprix International
2011 will be hosted and co-organised by the Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Technology and the School
of Architecture and Planning.
Archiprix has invited MIT and the Platform for Per-
manent Modernity to engage in a discussion about
architectural practice in its totality.
Is there a future for a critical global architecture
project, now that our eyes have become tired of
countless global icons, with every monument glitzier
than every previous one?
Is ‘critical regionalism’ the alternative to the prolif-
eration of global icons?
Or has regional difference already been eroded to the
point where resuscitating it is a matter of nostalgia?
And if so, how should one deal with the rising global
mutiny against globalisation?
Is the post-icon age one characterised by a new
muteness? Archiprix and MIT will create an ex-
periment aimed at the possibility of a statement
on what constitutes ‘critical’ in architecture on an
international scale.
The best projects will receive the Hunter Douglas
Awards.

or an architect with some (dangerous)
knowledge which inevitably leads to design by com-
mittee, where one spends one’s life compromising
and trying to appease people who do not understand
the consequences of their interference.
Prima donas
For example, partially informed architects can be a
major problem. While ‘arty’ Prima Dona architects
can substantially add to the aesthetics of the facility,
an architect who starts to dictate how the facility is
going to operate is going to end up compromising
the design. Clearly any well-designed warehouse
needs to be wrapped around the operational pro-
cesses and thus must be driven by the logistics
consultant – not the architect.
Martin Bailey, ILS
Similarly there is real danger in letting the quantity

controlling the finances, when he starts to dictate
design policy you can end up with a facility that is
built around the wrong priorities. All professionals
therefore need to be managed and controlled to
ensure the facility design focuses on the opera-
tional needs.

How does one do this? How do you create a pro-

cess that will allow you to focus the resources on
creating a facility that primarily meets operational
needs and optimises efficiencies, rather than creat-
ing a pretty facility which is of no use to anybody?
Below I provide some guidelines to building the
best possible warehouse.
Warehouse guidelines
Make sure the facilities are wrapped around the
optimum process. When it comes to any deci-
sions the actual process must take priority. You
need a strong logistician to control and manage
the processes.

make sure there is room for proper

Built for builders
The underlying strength of the product, however, is
that it is tailored for the construction field. While
construction projects typically amount to millions
of Rands’ worth of materials, labour and expertise,
the planning aspect of the industry seems to be
fairly neglected. “Marketing in this industry seems
to be a ‘hit and miss affair’,” says Desiree. “Many
companies have no idea why they’re not winning
contracts. Often their production forecasting is
based on a rough estimate of previous years’
consumption.
Sales people are notorious for making

notes on scraps of paper, which literally

“Construction has stumbled along for years, acci-

dentally doing well using thumb-sucking forecasting
methods,” she says in her characteristic hard-hit-
ting style. “The industry is typified by peaks and
valleys and it’s the reason so many businesses
flounder during the hard times. When the phone
stops ringing and you don’t know why, what next?
Planning is as important for big companies as it is
for smaller ones. What do you do with a warehouse
full of the wrong stock?”
Encouraging acceptance
Not everyone has accepted CRM with open arms,
though. “CRM has a bit of a bad name so we’ve
really done our homework in terms of ensuring
optimum buy-in,” Graham says. “We’ve looked at
why other products have failed and how to over-
come these issues. We have a better understanding
of user-adoption and how to avoid the ‘garbage
in garbage out’ scenario that dooms a product to
failure from the outset.
“Our aim is to bring structure to an unstructured
arena, allowing analysis in an area that typically
doesn’t make good use of information. We an-
ticipate this being of benefit to the industry as a
whole,” he closes.

“The product is guaranteed for outdoor use and
has a lifespan of up to seven years. This is far

While many may not think of Africa as a continent
that needs to manufacture grass, Greg assures us
that its applications are vast. “It’s particularly ef-

explains. “It’s also useful for beautifying rooftops,

Fire doors to be exported
Fire and security door manufacturer, Bitcon Industries, has
secured three major new export orders.
Bob Vollmer, director of Bitcon, says the company is sup-
plying large volumes of its Rubidor hinged fire doors and
frames for contracts recently secured in Mauritius and
Zambia.
Rubidor fire doors were, in the first instance, supplied for
the upgrading of the Dr A.G. Jeetoo Hospital in Port Louis.
Work started last year on the upgrading of the 550-bed
facility to international standards and is expected to be
finished before the end of this year. Bitcon’s lead-lined
doors, which provide protection from X-ray equipment for
hospital personnel, also formed part of this major order.
Bitcon Industries is supplying fire doors and frames for a new Sun
Resorts hotel, Long Beach, on the east coast of Mauritius
In a second order from Mauritius, Bitcon’s Rubidor fire

doors and frames were supplied to General Construction
of Mauritius, the main contractor for the building of Sun
Resorts’ new five-star Long Beach resort on the east coast
of the island. The resort, scheduled to open at the end
of 2010, features an urban style piazza with restaurants,
shops and bars.
Bitcon is also supplying Rubidor fire doors and frames for
a Lusaka expansion project of Standard Chartered Bank.
In addition to these three new contracts, Bitcon is also
involved in fire door exports to Mozambique and Swaziland
as well as Botswana, the latter through various contracts
secured by Mercurio Trade, another member of the Vitrex

New power generation company for Western
Cape
With interruptions in the supply of electricity a constant
threat to the business and domestic scene, the launch of
a new power generating company can only be welcomed
in the Western Cape.
Engine Applications Western Cape, a new branch of the
30-year-old Gauteng-based supplier of standby power to
industrial, commercial, residential as well as fleet opera-
tions, is headed by Gordons Bay resident, Gerald Spaans,
who has been involved in the power generation industry
for decades as MD of Spa Industrial in Benoni.
Engine Applications’ new Western Cape manager, Gerald Spaans,

says electrical power back-up systems are now vital
“Businesses need and depend on electrical power every

day, which makes back-up systems a necessity, not a
luxury,” says Gerald. “Consider what losses in production
could mean to a manufacturer in these difficult economic
times, or what hospitals would do without life support
systems, or the chaos in department stores, hotels, and
casinos during power grid interruptions.”
Engine Applications has an extensive product range that
covers mobile and fixed diesel generators, static or rotary
uninterruptible power supplies, switchboard and metering
systems for generator sets, standby battery banks, diesel
driven pump sets, and remote monitoring systems and
building management systems.

Easy living in downtown Jozi
Iconic old corporate head quarters in downtown Johan-
nesburg are being transformed into trendy new apartments
designed for easy living and are breathing new life into the
old central business district.
The old Stuttaford’s head office on the corner of Rissik
and Pritchard Streets in the Jozi CBD is currently being
transformed into 133 apartments aimed at professionals
wanting sophisticated yet affordable city lifestyles.
The R65 million development, which will also feature a first
of kind concept McDonalds’ eatery on its ground floor and
other retail tenants, is the latest offering from development
partners International Housing Solutions (IHS).
The completed units - available for occupation early next
year - will be rented out from R2 500 for a small studio
up to R4 500 for a large 2 bed-roomed apartment. Larger
studios and 1 bed-roomed apartments will also be available
Overall performance of the studio was 15% better than specified
for R3 200 and R3 500 respectively.
The project follows hot on the heels of the development of
400 new rental apartments in the old Greatermans build- Concrete and music

supporting a roof of 150mm. 250mm deep concrete panels were used which
create the necessary “dead” sound, while a “floating” fibreglass-filled sandwich
of ceiling and interior walls provided additional sound insulation.
Using the hollow-core panels for the studio areas avoided propping and shut-
tering of wet concrete, highlighting the economy and labour-saving features
of the system, as a result, the project was completed six weeks ahead of
programme.
Eric Quevauvilliers of the main contractor, Pratique, says hollow-core floor con-
crete slabs are known to provide a high level of acoustical insulation to airborne
sound transmission. “In this way they are similar to solid concrete slabs in the
transmission of impact noise and airborne sound which, when it reaches the
floor, vibrates it, and is then radiated through the floor material.”
Airborne sound transmission loss is most greatly affected by the weight of the
material. For this reason, a hollow-core, precast concrete floor system did not
require any additional treatment to achieve good sound insulation.
Acoustics engineer Steve Moss reported that overall performance of the studio
was 15% better than specified.

Automated building software

The WSP Group’s latest IT development is a digital building software tool
that accurately depicts building data to improve building management and
response operations.
The Archaio software was developed, in an emerging software market known
as Comprehensive Interior Reconnaissance. It is designed to deliver true scale
building data accessed and visualised in 2-D and 3-D building models.
The software works by automating existing building data, such as blueprints and
CAD drawings into digital formats, integrating components such as structural,
electrical, water, fire alarm and motion detection systems.
This provides instant access to 3D building visualisations, blueprints and build-
ing documents that are accurate owing to the software’s scaling device.
The resulting system enables first responders, such as police, fire, special
operations and other emergency responders, to plan efficiently and respond
more effectively. It also enables building managers and owners to dynamically
manage all aspects of a structure to save time and money.

Thatchers lift the roof

The annual Thatching Association of South Africa (TASA) congress, held this
year at Pringle Bay in the Cape, was attended by delegates from the four
corners of the country, the occasion saw the award of Arch Wood Protection’s
‘Tanalised’ floating trophies in the this year’s model building competition which
has become a regular, much loved feature of the gathering.

News & Views
This year the accolades went to David Hoffman of
Hoffman’s Thatching Specialists in the ‘Best Pole
Structure’ category and to John Smith of Biggarsburg
Thatchers for the ‘Most Aesthetic Structure’.
Moreover, having co-sponsored the occasion for the last
four years and on the firm premise that the thatchers
sector is an important segment of the timber industry
as a whole, Arch this year opted to be the congress’
sole sponsor.
Winner Best Pole Structure: David Hoffman of Hoff-

man's
Says Arch Marketing Manager Gerard Busse, “TASA

leads the way in improving standards in the thatching
industry. The TASA congress is a great way to celebrate
the role of thatchers in the timber industry at large,
so we saw the event as an excellent opportunity to
further align ourselves with this important sector.”

Substantial renovation
When Saldanha Steel undertook a substantial renovation
project, Sika was contracted to supply the construc-
tion products for the repairs and refurbishment of the
internal floor and wall areas.
The combined value of the project amounted to ap-
proximately R6 million and BKS/ Mittal, the on-site
engineers, called on Sika to provide products and
training for the contractors, Potgieter Boudienste,
Phutuma Projects and Lattie Potgieter.
Saldanha Steel, part of Mittal Steel South Africa, is
largely export-focused and distinguished from other
industrial plants by its ‘green’ attitude. Globally, the
plant is the only steel mill to have successfully joined the
Midrex/Corex process into an uninterrupted chain.
The floors, which had an existing screed, and other
substrates had to be cleaned, sanded and water jetted
and then resurfaced in a very short amount of time

News & Views
due to the limited shut
down period allocated
by the plant. The repairs,
relining and renovations
completed during the
course of this project in-
cluded three surface areas
on which Sika products
were applied.
The internal floor and wall
areas of the Midrex/Corex
clarifiers were first prepped
for resurfacing by vigorous
cleaning of the existing
substrates. Allowing for a
shorter application time,
5 500 square-metres of
Sikagard-63N was used
following the application
of Sikagard-720 EpoCem
