Marquee Weddings – the perfect alternative to any wedding venue during COVID lockdown It’s been a year of hard lockdown. A year of very little fun and celebration. But as the seasons change and our lockdown restrictions have eased somewhat, there are still a few weeks of beautiful, balmy weather to take advantage of.

Final matric exams and the pandemic The sheer versatility of our structures have been evident this year. As we started the year with our usual events, we were blissfully unaware of what was about to unfold. In the height of the pandemic we were able to assist the Health Department with field hospitals, and structures that housed macerator units which decontaminated medical waste before it went to landfill.

Containerized units With the COVID pandemic not showing signs of slowing down, we have had the get creative with the available resources in order to provide infrastructure for the Health Department.

Some of these testing centres can be converted into field hospitals, if/when the need arises. Now we are in the process of rolling out new containerised units that can...
COVID-19 Field Hospitals around the Western Cape Pretty much, the whole Events Industry collapsed in a matter of days following the lockdown announcement. We did not know how things were going to pan out over the coming weeks and months during lockdown, and we were bracing for anything that was going to come our way. When we were able to build various COVID-19 Field Hospitals, Triage & Testing Facilities and other medical facilities for the Western Cape Government Health Department, we...
