Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The construction market in South Africa is teeming with activity. The government has commanded increased residential building and the demand for more shopping centers and entertainment facilities shows no sign of slowing down. Further, the 2010 Soccer World Cup is nearing fast and with it the deadlines for building new sport stadiums and car parks. Given the almost insatiable demand and short completion times, a high-quality, reliable building product that is available within short lead times is sure to be welcomed. Mining and quarrying company Quarry Cats realised the potential and set up a brand new venture, Elematic Hollow Core Slabs (Pty) Ltd, that will start manufacturing precast concrete hollow-core slabs for the South African market early next year.
