KPMM Roads and Earthworks’ Cat 140K grader fleet forms the backbone of the layer works programmes on a range of projects now under way nationally, a key one being on the Middelburg to Loskopdam road in Mpumalanga.
Sustained public-sector investment in South Africa’s road infrastructure remains buoyant going into 2016, with national and provincial projects under way that will relieve constraints, providing a positive stimulus for medium and longer socio-economic growth. A prime example is the rehabilitation of the N11 (section 10) from Middelburg to Loskopdam (km 23.5 to km 53.4), an approximately R353 million project being undertaken by Gauteng-based company KPMM Roads and Earthworks (KPMM).Central to this project is the widening of the scenic Kranspoort Pass. This is a South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) project.
The route is a strategically important one as it links Middelburg with other key mining centres like Witbank and Burgersfort, and traditionally carries a high volume of commercial and abnormal truck traffic. Read more here.
