| “Highly Innovative” is how the Fulton Award judges described INFRASET’s locally developed
concrete seating system, widely used to provide cost-effective solutions to seating requirements
from bus stops to schools and major stadiums. Features include: |
• Only the INFRASET system is specially engineered and designed for quick and
simple installation.
• The precast units are robust enough to weather the wear and tear of
construction.
• The INFRASET system is vandal-proof and maintenance-free.
• Seats come in standard grey but may be coloured for aesthetic appeal.
• The system is labour intensive in its construction and thus ideal for job creation
in disadvantaged communities.
The INFRASET Embankment Seating System consists of a hollow seat block with a mass
of about 45kg and a hollow aisle block with a mass of approximately 25kg. Two seat
blocks and two aisle blocks form one seat with a recommended width of 450mm.
Embankment preparation
The embankment should be constructed either in cut and then accurately trimmed to
the designed slopes, or if the embankment is in fill, then the fill should be
adequately compacted to minimise settlement and then accurately trimmed to the
designed slope.
Finally, the embankment should then be screeded with a 75mm concrete screed which
will act as the bearing surface for the seats and prevent scoring of the
embankment.
Construction
The units are dry-stacked on the prepared screed, working from the base up. The aisle
units also perform the function of creating access ways. Note that any curves will be
constructed in a series of cords as only straight line construction is effective.
Upon completion of installation, bucket seats may be fixed to the seating if
required, or at a later date when upgrading the facility. |
