Rehabilitating Roads across South Africa

The SA National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) and local agencies like the Johannesburg Roads Agency are set to invest heavily in upgrading and improving the country’s road infrastructure. In light of these opportunities, Stefanutti Stocks Earthworks (Pty) Ltd. recently established an asphalt division, which expands the business capacity to execute all types of road surfacing.
The new division complements the existing capabilities of the group, affording it entry into the road rehabilitation sector and further entrenching it as a ‘one-stop shop’ for all construction related projects. With the recent award of two projects from SANRAL, the Roads & Earthworks business unit has further bulked up its capacity and has purchased additional plant including two new recycling machines, two new asphalt paving machines and a new premix plant on order. The business has purchased this high spec asphalt mixing plant from America to manufacture the asphalt on both SANRAL projects. It’s a counter-flow asphalt plant with the mixer outside the drum in an independent pug-mill with twin shafts. It has a production capacity of 120 ton an hour and it is fully mobile.
The new division brings with it benefits to not only the group, but also to employees and local communities. “The very nature of our work often sees us working in remote locations,” says Robert Turner, surfacing manager. “This in turn brings the added benefit of job creation to the area”.
“Both projects commenced in October 2009 and their award by SANRAL certainly places high expectations on the new division,” says Robert. “We are however quietly confident that we will not disappoint!”
