Environmental developments
affecting our industry
A major criterion for Aspasa’s ISHE and
About Face Environmental auditors is to
transfer experience and knowledge to the
operations they visit. And this has clearly
been achieved given the results from
member operations in terms of health and
safety, and environmental excellence.
This paper by Cluett Consulting
discusses some of the key environmental
legal requirements and proposes a
mechanism for the early identification of
requirements, associated risks and their
successful mitigation.

AROUND THE INDUSTRY
The acquisition of Cape Lime in
April 2006 is one of Afrimat’s
larger to date. At the sum of
R276-million, this acquisition is
another extension of the group’s
diversification strategy aimed at
leveraging off its core business,
not only in new markets but by
also offering new products in
existing markets. MQ visits the
Vredendal operation.

Newly-branded Aspasa looks to
the future
Scania offers reliable used vehicle
solutions
Aspasa has grown to reflect a diverse
membership base and has expanded its
services to include other opencast sectors
of the mining industry. As such it will no
longer be known as the Aggregate and
Sand Producers Association, but rather
retain the Aspasa acronym only.
When looking for a used vehicle, potential
buyers in the quarrying and construction
sector tend to think twice, as the
uncertainty associated with the purchase
of a second-hand truck that has operated
in a harsh environment is a major inhibitor.
Scania offers a reliable solution.
