Digistics, Waterfall — Refurbishment & Ongoing Maintenance
Waterfall, Gauteng | 2018 – present
I built these structures for Digistics in the first place — poles set and frames erected over a parking area that was still under construction. Not long after, they were taken down and left lying on the ground — frames, poles and stairs in a heap among the rubble. The steel was still good. I stripped it back, repainted it, re-erected the full run and fitted new nets. Since then I have been back on site regularly: annual inspections, retensioning, and repairs to their older structures as they have needed it. Six years on they are still standing and still doing their job.
