Modern Quarrying Q3 2018

AT THE QUARRY FACE

In the face of tough market conditions, several initiatives at AfriSam Peninsula quarry – including relentless pursuit for operational excellence, a range of in- house and group-wide innovations and the identification of niche, high value products – are key success drivers. The quarry boasts the highest sales volumes within the AfriSam group, and is one of the largest operations of its nature in South Africa, in size and production capacity. Munesu Shoko was recently on site. AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATIVE QUARRYING

A friSam’s Peninsula quarry is one of the largest quarries, not only in the Western Cape, but across South Africa. Ideally located some 25 km north of Cape Town, it supplies aggregate material, mainly to asphalt, readymix, building and civil construction markets across the greater Cape Town area. Unquestionably one of the best-looking aggregate quarries in the country, Peninsula started mining around 1962, and a new 30-year mining right was granted in August 2009 to August 2039.
