            <description><![CDATA[Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) – a product of recycled old asphalt roads – is moving from a supplementary option to a core component of modern road construction, as sustainability, cost-efficiency and resource security shape infrastructure agendas worldwide, says asphalt and concrete solutions provider Lintec & Linnhoff. It points out that governments, road authorities and contractors are increasingly recognising RAP as a practical pathway to circularity, reducing reliance on virgin materials while lowering emissions and production costs. ]]></description>

In addition, he told delegates to a Steel and Engineering Industries Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) conference on June 11 that lower tariffs could also be made available to less electricity-intensive sectors such as steel; a sector which he described as strategic and where electricity costs had been flagged as one of the reasons for recent production closures.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Converting hazardous waste and high-calorific materials into alternative fuels has enabled cement manufacturing facilities to partially or fully replace the coal used to fire cement kilns. Replacing coal has helped cement manufacturers to reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources for one of the most energy-intensive industrial operations, says waste management company Oricol Environmental Services. Its blending technology produces alternative fuels to help cement manufacturers reduce costs.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[An improved post-initial set applied colloidal silica – a liquid densifier that strengthens concrete from within – distributed by concrete protection supplier SprayLock Africa is strengthening the floors of numerous mining, industrial and commercial sites. The Spray-Lock Concrete Protection (SCP) Post-Placement Pozzolan (P3) silica “actively interacts with the concrete matrix, as it is designed to permanently waterproof and protect new or existing concrete by sealing capillary voids, reducing moisture migration and improving durability,” says SprayLock Africa MD Carl White.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The successful installation of industrial machine manufacturer OST-Africa’s Visam vibrating equipment a year ago has “greatly improved” output for precast manufacturer Vula Concrete, leading to the acquisition of four more cement moulds, to be delivered later this year. “Since the installation of OST’s Visam vibrating equipment a year ago, Vula Concrete has recorded immediate operational improvements. Production cycles have been shortened, product finish quality has markedly improved and maintenance requirements are minimal,” says OST-Africa marketing manager Chantelle Scheepers.]]></description>
