A
uas Hills Retirement Village
provides facilities like a well-
equipped restaurant where you can
enjoy nice meals, an onsite laundry, a day
care centre, pharmacy, physiotherapist,
biocineticist and a high care centre
(should it be necessary).
During the planning stages, it became
evident that earth retaining measure
would be needed to stabilise the exposed
embankments resulting from excavation
activities. Steffanuti Stocks, the main
contractor on site, approached Namwall,
Windhoek based Namibian licensee for
Terraforce, to provide a design for
Terraforce block retaining walls.
