We offer an extensive range of road-safety products that is specifically made for tough South African conditions. All our products are manufactured to meet a range of strict safety and quality standards. To give you an indication of the extent of our product range, we briefly introduce some of our other products below. Thermoplastic Speed
Although unprotected steel products are cheaper and thus initially more cost-effective than galvanised corrugated steel, one has to remember that unprotected steel must be coated. The coating is all that protects the underlying surface against corrosion. This layer of protection must be maintained. This means having to apply a new coat every few years. The
South Africa has a high number of road fatalities. Indeed, historical data has shown that for every death because of a vehicle accident on the South African roads, there are 4.6 serious injuries. The road accident figures show that in 2017 alone, more than 280 000 injuries were attributed to road accidents, and many of
From time to time, engineering companies, road construction firms, municipalities, and local authorities tasked with road maintenance must buy new traffic cones. Although such pylons have been in use for decades, little to no thought is given to the origin and history of traffic cones. A brief historical overlook provides a good start in understanding
Highways carry tremendous traffic in South Africa. With vehicles moving at an average speed of between 100 and 120 km per hour, many accidents can be fatal. Though a Highway Guardrail cannot prevent fatalities altogether, the barriers are essential in helping to prevent accidents and reduce the number of deaths on the roads. The highway
Orange cones, widely known as traffic pylons, traffic cones, and even witch hats, are among the many road safety products available in South Africa. However, even with widespread use, little thought is given to the history, design, applications, and effectiveness of this important road-safety product. A closer look at the origin, features, and design of
Vehicles travel at high speed on highways. Though the vehicles move in the same direction, the risk of serious accidents is a reality. Highway barriers are installed specifically to improve the safety profiles of highways. However, certain types of barriers work better for specific situations than others. The Type of Barrier Installed is Dependent on
SANS 121:2000, together with ISO 1461, has been superseded by SANS 121:2011. SANS 121:2000 or rather, the current standard of SANS 121:2011, is the national standard for hot-dip galvanised coatings on fabricated or manufactured iron and steel articles. It covers the specifications and tests for these standards. Accredited hot-dip galvanising plants adhere to the requirements
With the cost of construction and engineering projects always a concern, it is easy to fall into the trap of buying unprotected steel and then coating it with the appropriate protective paint to prevent rusting and degrading. However, galvanising specialists in South Africa adhere to strict international and national standards in terms of the method
It is estimated that more than 5000 pedestrians lose their lives on South African roads every year. In addition, most of the incidents occur in urban areas. What is even more worrisome is the fact that speeding is said to be the main cause for such accidents, with many happening near places where children are
