The solution from Lafarge South Africa was to position a mobile
concrete batching plant optimally on site to service the major concrete
pours and take on the durability risk. This was conditional on being
awarded the full supply package of building materials. The successful
outcome was the supply of 10 000 m³ CVC concrete, on-specification
and on-time. This involved the supply 3 500 t of Lafarge Powercrete
Plus 42,5R cement, 7 000 t of aggregates, 1 000 t of fly ash, as well as
8 000 t of cementitious roadbinder, RoadCem.
“Our construction contractor customers are appreciating the bene-
fits of having their building materials supplied and managed from a
single reliable source,” comments Lafarge South Africa’s, Mike Fisher,
infrastructure road & rail development manager. “By matching the
extensive capabilities of Lafarge South Africa with the needs
of the specific construction project and the individual construction
company, we achieve consistent quality and better value all round for
the stakeholders.”
Lafarge South Africa offers fully-integrated support for major
infrastructure projects, including ready-mixed concrete,
cement, aggregates, fly ash and on-site mobile batching plants.
Current projects range from the N2 freeway upgrade at Eteza to
the Lower Tugela bulk water scheme.
