Sneak peek: Terracing a mountainside in eZulwini, Eswatini

High up on the mountainside above eZulwini, Eswatini, Terraforce Retaining Walls® round face retaining walls are holding back some of the highest cut slopes the system has tackled to date. Built for the new International Convention Centre and five-star hotel and resort, the tiered walls reach up to 26m in height, with EFS Construction, a Terraforce® licensed manufacturer and recommended contractor, supplying and installing over 267 000 blocks across the site.

Seedling pockets built into the concrete infill mean the walls were never meant to stay bare. Years on, palms, agaves and flowering shrubs have taken hold across the tiers, with the scalloped block lines still visible beneath the growth, tying the structure back into the surrounding hillside.

The full story on this landmark stabilisation project is coming soon!

Terraforce Retaining Walls® 4x4 Step blocks were used to construct this staircase at The Regal Rose Spa in Durbanville, Western Cape. L12 blocks, flanking the stairs, form the retaining walls on either side, tying the entrance, planting beds, and pathway into a single cohesive design.

Terraforce Retaining Walls® Standard round face blocks were used to build this retaining wall in Citrusdal, Western Cape. The scalloped face gives the wall texture and softens its look along the boundary, in keeping with the rocky terrain nearby. The blocks' earthy tone works well with the patio's timber furniture and potted aloes and dracaenas, so the wall fits naturally into the backyard rather than standing out.

The result is a retaining wall that also works as a landscaping feature - functional, low-maintenance, and well suited to the space.

Blocks supplied by Terraforce® licensed manufacturer, Klapmuts Concrete / Cape Retaining Systems.

Service Road, Club Med Tinley Manor, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Club Med Tinley Manor is the first Club Med resort in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa, and sustainability was a key consideration throughout the development. This short service track, providing access to the resort's back-of-house services, follows a sloped and curving route, and was surfaced with Terraforce Retaining Walls® Terracrete™ permeable pavers, allowing rainwater to filter naturally into the ground rather than run off, for an eco-friendly and flexible surfacing solution well suited to the track's changing gradient and alignment.

The blocks were supplied by TFSD Concrete Products, Terraforce®'s licensed manufacturer based in KuGompo, South Africa, with installation carried out by R&B Civils.

Building Roads That Bring Communities Together: Terracrete™ in Rural Eswatini

Elgin Rust and Karin Rust from the Terraforce Retaining Walls® head office in Cape Town, South Africa, recently visited rural community roads in Ezulwini with Michael Toepfer, a Terraforce® licensed manufacturer and recommended contractor in Eswatini. The roads were paved with Terraforce®'s permeable paver Terracrete™, expertly installed by Michael and his competent team, and they show exactly why it's suited to steep, off-the-beaten-track access routes.

Before the blocks went down, the roads were graded into a trapezoidal shape for self-draining runoff, then finished with a 100mm G6 base layer. On very steep sections, whaler strips (diagonal strips of concrete-filled Terracrete™ blocks) were added for extra support, anchoring the paving where the gradient demanded it. Approximately 1.5km of road has so far been completed and successfully weathered traffic and storms over the past few years.

Once laid, the blocks provide a flexible lining that can accommodate some ground movement, and the large openings, covering 40% of the surface area, allow rainwater to drain straight through rather than run off. On site, you can already see grass and vegetation taking hold in the joints, helping root the paving into the subbase as the road settles.

For communities living on steep slopes and away from paved infrastructure, that combination of solid groundwork, permeability, and flexibility makes a lasting difference to everyday access, safer trips to school, easier deliveries, and homes that stay connected to the world beyond the hill.

Blocks manufactured and installed by Terraforce® licensed manufacturer, EFS Construction.

Terraforce® round face walls at the Caledon Caltex petrol station, planted with vygies (Aizoaceae), creating a green boundary.

More than just a retaining structure, this wall doubles as a green belt - softening the hard edges of a busy roadside stop and turning a functional boundary into a living, colourful feature. The vygies thrive in the engineered growing medium within the Terraforce Retaining Walls® blocks, requiring minimal water while adding seasonal bursts of colour and helping to bind and stabilise the soil naturally.

It's a great example of how retaining walls can do double duty: providing structural support while contributing to greener, more attractive urban and roadside spaces.

Spotted: A striking example of engineered slope stabilisation in the Western Cape!

This Terraforce Retaining Walls® round face retaining wall is hard at work providing cut slope erosion control and stabilisation at the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Environment in Gansbaai, Western Cape, South Africa.

Cut slopes are particularly vulnerable to erosion and instability, especially in coastal environments exposed to wind and rain. The Terraforce® round face block system offers both the structural strength to hold back the slope and a natural aesthetic that complements the surrounding landscape.

Another example of Terraforce® solving real-world stabilisation challenges, one wall at a time.
