AfriSam’s Roadstab Cement continues to strengthen South Africa’s road infrastructure by delivering a dependable high performance solution for stabilising and improving road layers in demanding conditions. Engineered specifically for road construction, it ensures superior strength, durability and consistent performance across diverse soil types, enabling contractors to meet quality standards and tight project schedules.

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.”

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.”

AfriSam backs its specialised cement range with the country’s most extensive technical support network. Through its laboratory and field services teams, the company assists clients with mix designs, materials testing and quality control to ensure optimal results on site.

“Our customers appreciate that AfriSam is more than just a supplier,” Aniruth adds. “We work alongside them to make sure that every road built with Roadstab Cement achieves its intended performance and durability.”

From national highways to municipal and rural access routes, AfriSam Roadstab Cement continues to underpin critical transport infrastructure across southern Africa. Its proven consistency, ease of use and environmental benefits make it a preferred choice for road projects designed to stand the test of time.

“Reliable roads are essential for economic growth and community connectivity,” Aniruth concludes. “With Roadstab Cement, we are proud to be part of building a stronger and more sustainable future for South Africa.”
