Brightwater Commons Skatepark ~ Johanessburg, South Africa
Details Completed: November 2005 Size: 10,000 square feet Features: Street plaza, bowl, flow course with the first cradle in Africa. We provided complete design-build services, including construction drawings, specifications, construction estimates, and construction supervision of Zulu crew. |
Design Notes Quite a unique project, built in a shopping mall by an excellent crew of Africans led by Airspeed's Geth Noble. Brightwater features the first Cradle on the continent of Africa. 90 % of the concrete for this project was placed by wheelbarrow. Theconcrete was sprayed by an ancient gunite machine fed by men shoveling mix into the hopper. Brightwater has lots of street features as well, which is necessary in Johannesburg because the natural street spots are typically too dangerous to skate without armed escort.
