this is AECI Much Asphalt
Roads are the arteries through which an economy pulses. By linking producers to markets, workers to jobs, students to schools and the sick to hospitals, roads are vital to any development agenda.
Appropriately in the context of AECI’s commitment to “a better world”, we’re the largest commercial asphalt producer in Southern Africa. We pride ourselves on the consistent quality of our wide range of hot and cold asphalt products, our service offering to large and small asphalt users, and our excellent safety record.
Very importantly, asphalt pavement is 100% recyclable and we have the capability to include between 10% and more than 50% recycled asphalt in new asphalt mixes. We also offer high-performance asphalt mixes for high traffic routes and to withstand high numbers of heavy vehicles. This is necessary as traffic volumes are increasing globally, requiring asphalt mixes that perform well without premature rutting or cracking under extreme loading.
To uplift the technical skills of industry role players, we have presented free workshops to employees of local and provincial authorities, private sector customers, consultants, SMMEs and new entrants into the asphalt sector for over 20 years. This training continues to attract large numbers of delegates around South Africa.
We own and operate 14 static plants in major centres in South Africa and in Namibia and are the majority shareholder in East Coast Asphalt, which operates plants in East London and Mthatha.
More remotely located projects are supplied from mobile plants, enabling us to provide comprehensive coverage from coast to coast and into neighbouring countries.
AECI Spraypave, a South African manufacturer of bitumen, modified binders and emulsions for road construction, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AECI Much Asphalt. The business owns unique technology that enables the enhancement of penetration grade bitumen required to produce asphalt. This technology entrenches AECI Much Asphalt’s ability to produce and supply any asphalt product required.
Our products can be found on urban streets, freeways, bus lanes, runways, racetracks, commercial parking lots, driveways and pavements, and in dam linings, coal yards and harbours.

GB5
On a global scale, increasing volumes of traffic, and heavy vehicles in particular, led to the development of specialised asphalt mixes that perform well without premature rutting or cracking under extreme loading. GB5 High Modulus Asphalt System is a high-performance asphalt mix paved in a conventional manner. GB5 was developed by French company, Eiffage Travaux Publics, from whom we acquired the rights to manufacture the product. We’ve undertaken various successful GB5 trials on high traffic routes and have been awarded an Agrément Certificate for the product.
Recycled asphalt
Asphalt pavement is 100% recyclable and we have the capability to include between 10% and more than 50% recycled product in new asphalt mixes.
Multistage bitumen converter
A multi-stage bitumen converter brings to Africa unique technology that changes bituminous products from one grade to another. The 20 tonne per hour converter was acquired by AECI Spraypave from a global leader in bitumen technologies.
