PROJECTS AND CONTRACTS

In a major capital investment AfriSam

recently commissioned what is deemed to be

their single largest stationary readymix plant

in operation in South Africa, at beginning of

April, at its Jukskei operation. This is also

considered to be one of the largest plants

supplied by Liebherr SA into southern Africa,

with a rated capacity of between 120 m

and

130 m

per hour.

Selection of a wet batch plant for this

operation has offered a number of advan-

tages to AfriSam and its customers, including

greater control of the consistency of the

concrete due to improved slump control.

Furthermore, the design and configuration of

this plant allows concrete to be delivered at

a high output, without compromising on the

quality of the mix.

Apart from this ability to consistently

produce high quality concrete to a selected

mix formula, from an environmental perspec-

tive the selection of a wet batch plant is a

desirable option and falls in line with

AfriSam’s responsible stance on environ-

mental stewardship. Designed and manufac-

tured in Europe, the fully automated state-of-

the-art readymix plant is fully supported by

Liebherr in South Africa, ensuring consistent

reliability in terms of its operation.

Exceptional customer service remains a

primary focus for AfriSam and the company

constantly reviews current demand for the

resourcing of its truck fleets. In another

example of customer-centricity, apart from

standard concrete, the company caters to the

specific requirements of individual contract

compliance specifications, leveraging its

project technical capability and plant effi-

ciencies for their design and supply.

AfriSam has increased its readymix supply capacity to cater for an increased customer demand for

concrete in the burgeoning Sandton/Midrand/Centurion corridor.

Exceptional customer service remains a primary focus for AfriSam and the company constantly reviews

current demand for the resourcing of its truck fleets.

AfriSam has a very

interactive relationship

with both its customers and

the industry in general.
