Entrance to Thesens Island after rejuvenation

Thesen Island business parking area

Thesen Island parking area after removal of loose stone and start of rejuvenation.

All storm water drainage inlets were protected by sand filled bags in case of any spil which would run into the Knysna Lagoon. We thank the Knysna Parks Board for there valuable input

As can be seen there was a large ammount of loose stone on this contract due to the procsimity of the sea water so these roads and parking areas suffer heavy oxidation of the bitumen particles in the asphalt mix due to sun, wind, sea air and salt. We removed six piles of loose stone like the one in the picture on only one section of the parking.

Once again we can see the care given not to touch any of the curbs and brick paving. Also traffic control is done in such a way as not to effect the traffic to badly
