AfriSam’s Roadstab Cement continues to play a vital role in strengthening the country’s road infrastructure. As a purpose-designed stabilising cement, it provides engineers and contractors with a dependable high performance solution for improving the strength, durability and longevity of road layers – particularly in challenging local conditions.
Engineered for Performance and Reliability
Developed specifically for road construction applications, AfriSam Roadstab Cement enhances the performance of in-situ materials used in base and sub-base layers. The result is a stable platform with superior load bearing capacity and improved resistance to deformation, ensuring that roads can withstand high traffic volumes and harsh climatic conditions.
According to AfriSam’s Cementitious Executive, Vishal Aniruth, AfriSam Roadstab Cement has been formulated to meet the exacting demands of road layer stabilisation. “It provides superior strength gain and reduced shrinkage cracking, ensuring that the stabilised base layers performs optimally over the road’s design life.”
“The product’s controlled composition ensures predictable setting times and uniform strength development, which helps contractors maintain tight construction schedules without compromising on quality,” he says. “Its versatility across different soil types and project scales has made it a trusted choice for both urban and rural roads across southern Africa.”
Building for Sustainability
Sustainability lies at the core of AfriSam’s product development philosophy, and Roadstab Cement is no exception. It is manufactured using specifically selected clinker replacement materials that significantly reduce its carbon footprint compared to conventional cements, without sacrificing performance.
“By using Roadstab Cement, contractors are not only achieving a cost effective and durable road construction solution, but are also actively reducing the environmental impact of their projects,” he says. “It is a practical example of how innovation in materials can support sustainable infrastructure development.”
