SHODDY PURCHASE regularly ends up being a costly one. In the construction industry, this is frequently a given when price
is prioritised above quality. We are constantly surprised at the magnanimity experts in the construction industry when they try
and justify purchasing of modest items. They then cry foul when the product comes up short, delaminates, burns, washes off,
stains or simply falls off. The product is as far as anyone knows to blame when it doesn’t satisfy its predetermined and planned
reason. In the commercial built environment, this is particularly a risky occurrence yet we appear to have that covered as well,
we pass the buck and shift the blame.
If it is not too much trouble understand us correctly, we are not talking about innovation, a responsible cost cutting exercise, or even special
offers - we are referring to buying a $25 door and expecting it to last as long and function as well as a $200 door.
The lack of accountability never ceases to amaze in Zimbabwe. When will we start to accept responsibility for our poor decisions and frugality-
and realize that we are indeed answerable to and responsible for our actions? We suggest we endeavor to produce high quality, magnificent
products and buildings for our clients, ones we would willingly sign our names on and deliver by hand in a box with gold tissue paper and silver
ribbons, metaphorically speaking.
Structure and Design gladly promotes quality products and services: our clients and partners strive to bring excellent superior products to the
commercial market. Call them to discuss how their expertise and products could benefit your next project - you will be surprised at what is

A background to biophilia

The ‘Biophilia Hypothesis’ suggests that there is an
instinctive bond between human beings and other
living systems. It literally means a love of nature, and
suggests an ingrained affinity between humans and
the natural world. Therefore, biophilic design is a
response to this human need and works to re-establish
this contact with nature in the built environment.

Ultimately, biophilic design is the theory, science
and practice of bringing buildings to life and aims to
continue the individual’s connection with nature in the
environments that we live and work in every day.

In today’s contemporary built environment, people are
increasingly isolated from the beneficial experience of
natural systems and processes. Yet it is often natural
settings that people find particularly appealing and
aesthetically pleasing. So by mimicking these natural
environments within the workplace, we can create
workspaces that are imbued with positive emotional
experiences. It is often the case that we don’t take
enough time to immerse ourselves in nature, or
appreciate the living systems that exist everywhere
around us, making it vital for us to incorporate nature
into our day-to-day environments.

Existing research into the impact of biophilia in Findings show that natural elements in the workplace “…the enjoyment of

Biophilia may also help explain why some urban parks
and buildings are preferred over others. For decades,
research scientists and design practitioners have been
working to define aspects of nature that most impact
our satisfaction with the built environment. But how do

MAIN FEATURE TORAGEMART is located in the new Pomona Industrial Park on the corner of Harare Drive and Alpes Road in Vainona. It’s a
concept that’s new to Zimbabwe and it embodies the first, and so far the only, state of the art, high security, storage facility in
the country. In fact it’s so technically advanced that it’s superior to many similar facilities in South Africa or indeed in Europe or
America. It’s the culmination of lots of extensive research and a substantial cash investment by three local entrepreneurs.

Storagemart has three storage options: there are 96 outside storage units, 25 high security vaults, and in addition 400 safety deposit
lockers will soon be operational. Each option is suited to different security needs.

The outside units are available in two sizes – 3 x 6 metres and 3 x enough to store a car or a boat if you’re planning to be away for a

MAIN FEATURE

Doors are secured by the clients’ choice of
heavy duty padlocks and they are also alarmed
and protected by CCTV cameras which are
monitored 24 hours a day. Access to the facility
is through a security gate which is monitored
at all times. The gate will only allow a single
vehicle in or out at one time, so there’s no
chance of ‘tailgating’ or forced entry to the
facility. Clients require a gate pass tag and a
key for the alarm system to get into their units.

Inside the building are the high security vaults which
are 3 x 6 metres with large walk in safe doors supplied
by Assa Abloy. As a client you’ll receive the keys for
your vault in a sealed container and even the staff at
Storagemart doesn’t have copies of the keys, so it’s
completely secure. This means the staff can’t make
a duplicate key even if the client loses theirs. Access
is by tag through the gate into the facility and then
by biometric scanners into the vault area and finally
by using the unique key. The entire vault section is
monitored by highly trained security personnel through
a series of CCTV cameras around the clock. There are
however no cameras inside the vaults so depositors can
be assured of strict privacy. Only two people are allowed
into the vault area at any time. Unlike the outside units
vaults can only be accessed during normal office hours.
These vaults are ideal for storing or archiving sensitive
documents or other highly valuable possessions. Some
of the vaults are used to house off site servers for
sensitive computer information, and these are air
conditioned to maintain a constant temperature. The
vaults can be supplied with high speed fibre internet.
The temperature controlled units are also ideal for
storing valuable art works.

MAIN FEATURE

30 year experienced BK painters know
that your reputation is on the wall. They
truly understand that when it comes to
painting, finish is everything. Great looking
results are essential as they reflect on you
and your professional reputation. With this
in mind BK painters selected Dulux paints
to deliver a perfect professional finish on
all interior and exterior Storagemart walls.

MAIN FEATURE

The owners designed the whole complex
themselves with careful attention to detail.
Not only is the security set up world class,
the public reception areas are designed
in a sleek modern style so clients can feel
comfortable and confident. It’s the softer
side of the whole fortress like structure.
There are two friendly and helpful members
of staff – Reena Moore and Sandra John –
who can advise clients about their services
and help them fill out their contracts. The
monthly rentals are surprisingly reasonable
considering that you can have total peace of
mind knowing that your valuable goods are
safe or that important and often confidential
information is secure. Contracts are highly
flexible and can range from one month to
permanent facilities. Storagemart is looking
to the future too, with plans to open another
four facilities in and around Harare, and
possibly more in other centres.

your roller door open, and there’s armed response on the premises. Even the roof of the units is secure. It’s made of clip lock, interlocking
steel sections which can’t be individually removed without taking the whole roof off. The clip lock roof system was specially supplied locally

of industries from the food industry to mining.

There are several uses for polyethylene black sheeting
within the construction and the agriculture industry. The
industries form the basis of the Zimbabwean economy
and any growth that may be seen in the future.

There are many ways polyethylene is being used in
construction. Five main ways would include its use in
curing, as a vapour barrier, in form lining, and in tilt-up
construction. Polyethylene films are being used in curing
cement because of the preference for methods which
provide for the retention of moisture rather than for its
replacement. As a vapour barrier, polyethylene films block
the water vapour coming up from the ground underneath
a building. In form lining, forms are lined with strong
paper and tape coated with polyethylene. The technique
is said to make concrete smooth enough to paint without
any special preparation. Polyethylene film is also well
adapted to the problem of curing tilt-up wall panels.

SUMMARY OF CURRENT APPLICATIONS:

• A vapour barrier in concrete slabs, full basements USE IN AGRICULTURE

PALISADE FENCING BY TESA

Tesa Fencing was formed to fill the need
to locally manufacture palisade security
fencing in Zimbabwe. Their aim is to provide
a top quality fence for both domestic and industrial
use that not only provides high security but that is also
aesthetically pleasing to look at.

*They specialize in 1.2m, 1.5m, 1.8 and 2.1 m high
fences. They can also make heights as per customer
request. Standard panel sizes range between 2m and
2.5m spans. The span can also be made according to
customer request.

*Numerous Factors can influence the design and width
of panels at an installation:

*Terrain; Distance between surround points; Location
of entry/exit point; required height; optimal structure;
Specified/desired style.

*Standard Pale gaps are 115mm (1600mm between
centres) and 100mm (145mm between centres).
Smaller gaps between pales can be manufactured to
suit customer requirements. Fencing Panels consists
of 2 horizontal cross members (or 3 cross members
for fencing higher than 2.0m) which are punched with
a profiled slot which allow the vertical pales to be slid
through the cross member and then crimped into place
(therefore no welding on the panels).

*Pales and cross members are made of Z275
Pre-Galvanized material and are not painted. This
makes the palisade fencing maintenance free.

*Posts are made of Black Steel, they can be painted or
hot dipped galvanized. Tesa prefer to paint in order to
break the galvanized colour.

*Over hang on posts can be manufactured if razor wire
or electrification is required. Tesa also manufacture
sliding and swing gates to match up to the fence.

PALISADE INSTALLATION
Posts are planted in 450 x 450 x 600mm deep with 15
to 20 Mpa concrete foundations as per local council by
law. Assembled panels are installed by:

Securing brackets and spacers to panel cross
members with M8x40mm cup square and M8 shear
nut. Locating panels, bracket, spacer against a pre-
drilled post and sliding on an M8x90mm cup square
through the bracket and the post. Once panels and
cross members have been secured, shear nuts are
sheared off preventing vandalism through disassembly.

selling of locally produced tobacco.
They register tobacco growers and license tobacco buyers, auction floors and commercial tobacco graders,

as well as facilitating export permits for international buyers. Their Mission Statement is, ‘To mobilize,
