ROADS AND BRIDGES
The project, which is expected to run from
July 2015 to June 2016, will initially be
supplied out of Aveng Rand Road’s Pretoria
West Asphalt plant, and once established from their
mobile asphalt plant on site. This arrangement
essentially enhances functionality and mitigates risk for the contractor by ensuring
regular and consistent supply on demand.
The awarding of this contract to Aveng Rand Roads is testament to the
company’s reputation as a reliable and quality service provider in the road and
infrastructure industry.
Aveng Rand Roads is a specialist division within the Aveng Grinaker-LTA stable
that has expanded its service offering since the company first began operating
in 1970. Today Aveng Rand Roads offers a full range of high quality bituminous
binders and asphalt products which they manufacture and supply for road reha-
bilitation and infrastructure.
Lee Cochrane, GM of Aveng Rand Roads, commented: “It is a little known fact
that we have two bitumen processing facilities and rubber plants in the country,
a number of static asphalt plants and a mobile plant which can be deployed to
service projects in other parts of the country.”
Throughout the recent bitumen shortage, Aveng Rand Roads has managed
to sustain its operations and have comfortably been able to provide a sufficient
supply of raw bitumen. This has placed Aveng Rand Roads in a position where it
can adequately meet local demand for bituminous products.
PREFERRED SUPPLIER
Aveng Rand Roads has been
announced as the preferred
supplier for the N14 Phase I
Project which has been awarded
to Power Construction. This
entails the upgrading and
rehabilitation of the N14.
