When loadshedding and high-power costs threatened the viability of their salt manufacturing plant, Cerebos turned to Hubble’s High Voltage battery system.

With up to 30% of the cost of salt manufacture being electricity, and the plant needing to run at maximum capacity to keep up with demand, the solution needed to be economical and consistent.

After a year in the making, Hubble’s new power system is set to reduce Cerebos’s power costs, mitigate the impact of loadshedding and utilise the batteries to arbitrage the expensive winter peak electricity costs.

Cerebos partnered with Avianto Energy, who had experience at this scale and were open to finding economical solutions and sharing the process to that the Cerebos team could repeat the work at future salt work sites. They chose solar panels on a fixed East/West orientation, benefiting from the scalability of Hubble’s system.

Corobrik's distinctive range of clay brick pavers offer an extensive palette of colours and textures, offering an excellent spectrum for all tastes and lifestyles.

Corobrik concrete pavers are available in a multitude of shapes, colours, and sizes, enabling creative concrete paving patterns to be designed and laid with confidence.

These include the following:
- "Stock" special shaped bricks
- "Made to Order" special shaped bricks
- "Purpose Made" special shaped bricks

Product Attributes include visible mechanical interlock in the form of a nib, which provides a high degree of shear resistance to block-on-block sliding. An open-face application requiring less blocks per metre squared therefore it’s more cost competitive than closed face retaining block applications. And Nib ensures a maximum angle of inclination of 70 degrees.

With the following product attributes: products are laid in a closed-face application preventing backfill spillage, seldomly requiring geofabrics. They interlock on the horizontal plane in the form of the convex and concave shape of the block. They are a versatile system and can be easily formed into curved shapes either convex or concave or into the walls in which the upper and lower profiles are continuously changing.

Product Attributes include elements made from durable concrete and can be used in most saline or polluted conditions. Products are highly permeable, but can be made impermeable by using an impervious membrane underneath the blocks, or grouting the structure with concrete or mastic. And available 150mm thick and can be laid in different configurations, to reduce the quantity required.
