Thornhill Estate September 2017 | Page 11

The damaged weir, next to the Thornhill Bridge, which protected a main sewer- age line, was rebuilt and a new gabion is currently being built further upstream towards Myrtle Road. In addition, the current gabion at the Thornhill Bridge will be raised approximately 300 mm. The two gabions and weir will form ponds, which will then slow down the water velocity and reduce any further erosion to the river embankments. Excess silt has also been removed from the pond near the swimming pools. Plans are currently being put in place to build more gabions downstream in the New Year, which will then assist in reinstating the river between Thornhill Road and our main entrance. 7 SAFE & EFFECTIVE PEST CONTROL SOLUTIONS FOR: Households, Industrial, Warehouse, Factories, Storage Units, Schools, Restaurants, Hotels, Conference Venues, Bakeries, Retirement Villages and Complexes OUR SERVICES • Ants & Termites • Rats & Mice • Cockroaches • Fleas • Crickets • Fishmoths • Spiders • Fumigations WhatsApp us now: 071 136 4239 www.pestoff.co.za • • • • Back, neck & spinal pain Headaches Sports injuries Pain or stiffness (in joints & muscles) • • • • • Chest physiotherapy Posture Postoperative management Hands on Medical Aid friendly MARION PAYNE Bsc (Physio) WITS, OMT1, SPT1 PR: 0438979 Tel: 083 776 8178 / 011 524 0991 [email protected] Mode De Vie Medical & Aesthetics, Eden Meadows Shopping Centre, Cnr Modderfontein & Van Riebeeck Ave, Greenstone, Johannesburg
