Savannah Cement is targeting the road construction sector, as it brings to the market a specially developed product.
The
company has begun manufacturing Hydraulic Road Binder (HRB) cement, a
product blend that is used to stabilise road surfaces. Savannah on
Wednesday said in a statement that it had done so at the behest of the
Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.
The product
will be used in place of other cement and lime varieties. Combined with
soil and water, it will produce a material that will then be used as the
foundation for paved roads.
The product has received Kenya Bureau of Standards certification and is being tested by the Transport ministry.
“The
new Savannah Cement HRB product, which will retail at a lower rate than
conventional cement, is expected to contribute up to 30 per cent
approximate cost savings on the Sh25 billion national road construction
budget,” managing director Ronald Ndegwa said.
