The world's largest diamond mine, in the middle of the Kalahari. 38 kilometres of haul road, 22 metres wide. 🚛

Orapa brought us in to stabilise their heavy haul roads. The roads were ripped to 150mm, treated with SoilTech Mk III, compacted, and open to 300-ton haul traffic the next day.

Then in December that year, tropical storms hit the mine. The only roads still navigable were the stabilised ones.

And the number that made procurement sit up: monthly water use on the haul roads dropped from 5 million litres to 1.1 million.
That's an 80% reduction, in a desert.

Same story, different site — we'd be glad to walk your worst stretch of road with you.

This yard at Beira Port in Mozambique carries 12 to 15 tons per square metre. Every day. 🏗️

That's dry-bulk storage — the kind of loading that turns an ordinary surface into ruts within a season.

The base layer was cement stabilised. But only 3% cement, with 0.5% SoilTech Mk III mixed in alongside it.

Why so little cement? Because on a yard carrying that kind of concentrated load, what you actually need is tensile strength and moisture resistance — not the highest compressive number you can reach. Push the cement higher and you buy stiffness at the cost of shrinkage cracks.

The 30-day results: 2.68 MPa compressive strength and 423 kPa tensile strength. Exactly where it needed to be, with a layer that stays flexible rather than brittle.

Then 120mm interlocking pavers on top and the yard went to work.

A dam that leaks is just a slow way of losing money. 💧

PolySeal is a spray-on liner. Three coats of polymer emulsion over the prepared surface, and you get a seamless, flexible, UV-resistant seal for earthen or concrete dams.

Why people like it:

• No welding, no seams, no giant sheets to wrestle in the wind
• Dries in about four hours
• Stays flexible — it won't crack or go brittle in the sun
• Certified safe for drinking water
• Easy to repair. A patch bonds straight onto the old layer
• 10-year warranty against UV damage

We've used it on irrigation dams, reservoirs, canals, effluent ponds, golf course dams and even to repair torn HDPE.

Got a dam that's losing water? Let's have a look.

A pothole doesn't need a plant, a paving crew and a road closure. Sometimes it just needs a bag and a spade. 🕳️

AsphalTech Pothole Repair comes ready-mixed in 25kg bags. Open it, fill the hole, compact it, done — traffic back on it in about an hour.

No hot plant. No specialist machinery. No waiting for a contractor to have a gap in three weeks' time.

It's the same polymer-modified bitumen we supply for full road surfacing, just packed for the jobs that don't justify a full crew: estate roads, farm entrances, factory yards, parking areas, that one hole everyone swerves around.

Bags are available through our online store, or talk to us about bulk pricing for estates and municipalities.

Watering a haul road is a bit like watering a braai fire. By 10am it's gone and you're doing it again. 💧

Dust-Tech takes a different approach. It's a polymer that binds the top 5–30mm of the surface into a sealed crust, so the dust is held down instead of temporarily damped down.

What operations actually notice:

• Up to 63% less water used

• Fewer water-truck hours and less grader time

• Better visibility, which is really a safety story

• It dries clear — no sticky black mess on the bakkies

It works on haul roads, gravel roads, tailings and stockpiles. Farm roads too.

If dust is costing you water, time or complaints from the neighbours, give us a shout. We'll come look at the worst stretch.

The best road material on your site is usually already under your wheels. 🚜

Most people assume a proper road means trucking in crushed stone from a quarry — load after load, kilometre after kilometre. It's the single biggest line item on a lot of jobs.

SoilTech Mk III works differently. It's a polymer binder that we mix into the material already on site, so that gravel, laterite or sand becomes a bound, all-weather layer. No imported aggregate. No convoy of trucks.

The result is a road that handles rain instead of washing away in it — and construction that runs roughly 20–30% cheaper and around a third quicker than the conventional route.

Got a road, yard or driveway that turns into a mess every summer? Send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly whether your material will work.

We waterproofed an entire dam. 💦

40,000 m² of it — floor and walls — sprayed with PolySeal until the
whole dam was wrapped in one seamless, waterproof skin. No sheets, no
seams, nowhere for water to escape. That's the Mzintlava dam in the
Eastern Cape, built to keep the region's water exactly where it belongs.

So here's a thought… 🤔

If PolySeal can hold back a whole dam, what chance does a bit of rain
have against your roof?

The same PolySeal that sealed that dam goes into our home waterproofing
kit. One 25 kg kit covers 8 m² and seals roofs, walls, parapets and
gutters — and it shrugs off sun, acid and even fire. 🔥

Get your roof sealed before the rains, not during. 💧

📲 WhatsApp us to order — R939.99 a kit.
