PROUD MEMBER of the Basil Read Group of companies since 2006, SprayPave maintains that its role and position in the industry is, without a doubt, founded on its belief that moving forward and growing with the times is essential. “Our philosophy is quite simply to evolve relentlessly and never allow ourselves to be left in the wake of our competitors by becoming trapped in comfort zones and falling victim to antiquated policies and practices,” says commercial manager, Phil Chirnside.
Success through growth SprayPave’s head office is based in Alrode South, Johanensburg, and, following the completion of a recent major upgrade, the company is now capable of manufacturing all of the products it supplies. “The benefits of this upgrade are substantial, to both SprayPave as well as its clients,
as quality control is maximised, lead times and delivery efficiency are optimised and competitive pricing remains a certainty,” says managing director, Steven Single. These products include: • SS60: Anionic Emulsion with 60% binder content, as well as its diluted variant, SS30 • CAT60, 65 and 70: Cationic Emulsions with 60%, 65% and 70% binder content, as well as diluted variants • Opti-Prime: SprayPave’s very popular and environmentally friendly cold prime • SP1i: SprayPave’s invert cold prime • Opti-Cote: SprayPave’s answer to quality and effective pre-coating • SE-1 and SE-2: Effective and reliable polymer modified binders (SBS) • SC-E1 and SC-E2: Effective and reliable modified emulsions • Over and above these manufactured products, SprayPave also supplies all-penetration grade and cutback bitumen.
“All of these products are manufactured according to very specific industry guidelines, but what sets us apart from our competitors are our extremely high standards and exceptional house-keeping,” says Chirnside. “Along with the upgrade to the manufacturing facility, we have upgraded our storage facility to over 500 000 ℓ, ensuring that sufficient quantities of product are consistently and readily available, thus facilitating the shortest turnaround times possible,” he continues. Efficiency through versatility Naturally, success cannot be attributed to merely one variable in a company such as SprayPave. Having the ability to produce sufficient quantities of world-class product requires the ability to adequately supply that product to a vast target market. This SprayPave is quite capable of doing, and doing well, thanks to a number of tools
