eSwatini: Tailor-Made Risk Solutions has supplied imported slag from eMalahleni, South Africa, for use in the construction of a 2km-long road in Mpholi Township, Manzini. The silicomanganese slag is a product of ferromanganese alloy and steel production, and comes from a stockpile with reserves of 6.6Mt. Engineering News has reported that the National Cleaner Production Centre of South Africa (NCPC-SA) assisted in testing the slag as part of the selection process for the material.
NCPC-SA programme manager Victor Manavhela noted the suitability of this type for slag for other construction applications, including in precast concrete blocks, pipes and paving stones.
