With a history going back over three quarters of a century, AfriSam continues to be a major player in southern Africa's development. Our high quality products have made a significant contribution to the region's legacy through a variety of landmark projects.
AfriSam supplied the high quality 73 mm dolomitic and doleritic aggregate used as ballast on the tracks for the Gautrain project. The project will operate some 24 train sets of four rail cars each at speeds of 160 - 180 km per hour, 18 hours a day.
