Growth markets are anticipated across sub-Saharan Africa, spurring rapid infrastructure development and the construction business opportunities that come with it. The Totally Concrete Expo provides insight into where the industry is headed.
Historically, it has been a challenge to complete construction projects in Africa on budget and on time and the injection of new practices and technologies is vital to fast-track development. Totally Concrete recognises the importance of next generation tools and technology to enhance the local and regional built environment. It is estimated that US $940 million will be invested into the cement industries of South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe alone by 2018.Totally Concrete has practical tools and techniques for all professionals in the construction sector. Stakeholders from over 40 countries worldwide will have an opportunity to access cutting edge technology as it arrives for the first time on African soil.
The expo will run from 26 to 28 May in Johannesburg. The keynote address will be deliver by Clem Sunter, Chair of the Anglo American Chairman’s Fund and renowned conversational model strategist, and Daniel Silke, leading political analyst and futurist, will give a presentation that will set the stage for shaping the future of Africa and defining the role that the construction industry will play.
