You may have seen our consistent social posts or newsflashes about cleaning, greening, and maintenance (what we like to term CGM) work and projects done in our precinct. So why do we place such emphasis on these tasks?
We at the Cornubia Industrial and Business Estate (CIBEMA) believe in getting the small things done right to be able to get the big things done well. Focussing on the small tasks, such as picking up and bagging litter, removing graffiti, repairing paving, filling small potholes, repairing signage, removing illegal or expired posters, planting, and attending to all things landscaping and vegetation has a long-lasting positive effect on our precinct.
“These small tasks all add up to having bigger impacts in our precincts. The effects include stemming urban decay, becoming attractive to current and future investments, clean and green environments allow for less littering and more binning, having a clean, lit-up precinct also adds to the safety characteristic of Cornubia Industrial and Business Estate”, explained Jarrod Evans, Head of Northern Operations at UrbanMGT.
You may have come across our focus on the Small Things campaign over the past year in terms of cleaning, greening, and maintenance in the precinct. Some of the key CGM projects for the year thus far include:
Two very important greening projects that were completed by our CIBEMA team include the recent relocation of palm trees to the intersection of Crassula and Longifolia Roads. Application of a chemical called Volley 125 EC on the boundaries after cutting, will slow down the growth of vegetation in the areas, allowing the cleaning, greening, and maintenance team to have more time to work on other projects in the precinct between boundary cut intervals.
Projects for next year will see the Installation of feature gardens around the recently relocated palms and the creation of the much-anticipated precinct nursery.
We look forward to making the Cornubia a sought-after precinct in Africa, while not losing sight of the small yet meaningful tasks along the way!
