SPIGOT AND SOCKET PIPES HELP REPAIR FLOODDAMAGED STREET IN KZN

The damage to infrastructure in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) as a result of flooding has certainly taken its toll. Queen Nandi Drive was no exception, with damage that included the main sewer line. Rocla was commissioned to supply rolling joint (RJ) spigot and socket pipes with dolomite aggregate for the repairs to the main sewer line.

“Rocla supplied 41,48m of 1 350mm RJ spigot and socket pipes with a 19mm layer and dolomite aggregate to the project to repair the main sewer line,” says Ritesh Singh, sales consultant for Rocla based in Newcastle, KZN.

“Rocla’s well known for its expertise when it comes to concrete infrastructure products and it was this word-of-mouth recommendation that put our products on site. The RJ spigot and socket pipes, which are always used in sewer systems, were manufactured at our Roodepoort, Johannesburg factory, which had sufficient stock to meet the project’s requirements and were delivered to deadline in KZN.”

Rocla offers a range of infrastructure concrete products such as stormwater pipes, culverts, jacking pipes, concrete poles, manholes and sanitation units, many of which have won industry awards for their quality, innovative design and longevity. Rocla’s technical engineers are also available to assess what product will provide the solution for any infrastructure requirement and, if needed, can customdesign for a client.
