Sneak Peek: Terraforce Retaining Walls® on Site at South Africa's First Club Med

The Terraforce® team recently joined Jody Raju, Director of Interlock Retaining Systems & Maintenance, for a site visit at the brand-new Club Med Tinley Manor on KwaZulu-Natal's Dolphin Coast. It's exciting to see Terraforce® playing a role in one of the largest hospitality developments South Africa has seen in decades.

Terraforce® L13 blocks, supplied by licensed manufacturer Corobrik - Retaining Walls in Durban, were chosen to stabilise the steep slopes between the hotel buildings. The round face finish was specifically selected to support planting, turning what could have been stark concrete walls into green, textured living surfaces.

Club Med Tinley Manor is the first Club Med resort in South Africa and in sub-Saharan Africa, with over R2.1 billion invested and 411 rooms. The resort sits on a 32-hectare site that was once a sugarcane plantation, now being transformed into a sanctuary flanked by estuaries, wetlands and dune forests. It's also the first Club Med globally to combine a beach property with a dedicated safari lodge in a single dual-destination concept. Doors are set to open on 4 July 2026.

Selected Terraforce® products are manufactured under license by Ecocrete, Free State:
