Moses Mabhida Station, Durban
The design of the station had to ensure appropriate suitability for the site as well as integration with the precinct. The nature of the site posed challenges for accessibility, which were overcome. Structural design had to cater for the site constraints as well as the allowable occupation of the site. Logistical challenges included the procurement of different types of material used for the construction. Budget limitations also dictated the type and usage of materials as well as the final finishes.
