With their ability to contour to the landscape and be used in both cut and fill situations, concrete retaining walls are a popular choice for commercial and industrial building projects. The ease and speed of construction together with the relatively low installation cost have industrial and commercial sites making use of concrete retaining walls for […]

Since 1924, the development of various-shaped concrete paving blocks has grown in leaps and bounds and, with that, the design curves have been examined and bedding and jointing sand investigated to produce commercial and industrial paving that is ultimately durable. Applied successfully in paving roads, demarcating traffic circles and providing safe pedestrian walkways, to name

CRB structures assist in reducing the environmental impact of a construction project, including preventing soil erosion, a threat to environmental sustainability. These structures enable contractors to build on top of contoured terrain with relative ease and at a lower cost. An important aspect of sustainable construction is to assess the suitability of the structure in

In some suburbs, contractors may feel that the aesthetic appeal lies in paving public roads and pedestrian traffic surfaces, such as pavements using paving blocks. Commercial and industrial areas benefit from paving to provide practical operational surfaces that can withstand heavy traffic. As pleasing as MVA Bricks’ pavers are, what makes them last is not

Paved surfaces have formed part of roadways since 4000 BC and evolved from concrete slabs to shaped concrete blocks that are still in existence. Centuries later, the need for more hard-wearing surfaces has extended beyond roadways to include pedestrian walkways and domestic paving, with bevel paving proving to be a durable and long-lasting option. The

  Concrete kerbs form a raised shoulder between a roadway and a separation barrier typically located at the edge of a road surface or parking area. This partition is meant to prevent drivers from crossing over into oncoming vehicular traffic or endangering the lives of shoppers, cyclists, disabled individuals and other pedestrian traffic. Additionally, they

They may appear cumbersome, some odd in shape and seldom associated with any purpose other than keeping soil erosion at bay in sloped areas. However, retaining wall blocks are more versatile than you might think. As much as a lick of paint can change the outer appearance of a structure, retaining wall blocks or CRBs

The Benefits of Using Interlock Bricks Continued urban development means finding more efficient ways of providing additional infrastructure such as buildings, roads and walkways that can be constructed quicker and more cost-effectively. Interlock bricks enable the design and building of structures using less labour and materials resulting in lowered costs. At MVA Bricks, our interlock

Should you inadvertently refer to concrete paving as cement paving, you wouldn’t be far off the mark. To the layman’s eye, cement paving may look like concrete and vice versa. In fact, it would surprise you to know that cement paving does not exist, cement as a material is part of what comprises concrete paving.

Summer has finally arrived; the pool covers have been lifted and the kids are ready to jump in and enjoy their first summer swim. During the cooler months, you might have paid the necessary attention to maintaining the pool, but what about the paving blocks around it? It might be time to consider replacing your
