PE Paving
Corobrik pavers - here, there, everywhere.
International trends confirm the growing preference for clay paving by urban design professionals abroad for providing functionality with character and charm to urban environments. Keeping pace with this trend locally it is no surprise then that more and more urban upgrades are opting to use Corobrik clay pavers to bring life and vibrancy to our urban landscapes.
In Port Elizabeth (PE) 90 000 square meters of Burgundy 50mm clay pavers have been laid. The PE upgrade included, the Donkin Reserve and Govan Mbeki Avenue, both initiated by the Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) on behalf of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM).
Hedwig Crooijmans-Allers of Matrix Urban Designers and Architects says, “Corobrik Burgundy pavers’ unique colour and texture was ideal. The rich shade blended perfectly into the design and gave the area an upmarket rustic feel. Environmentally, we required that the solution be sustainable and eco-friendly with the surface being resistant to staining and corrosion, the latter most important to counter the salt and high humidity levels prevalent in this vicinity of the city. The Matrix in collaboration with Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) opted for our Burgundy paver as it well fulfilled the sustainability imperative.”
