CSIR and asphalt industry construct test road using local fillers, recycled tyres

The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and private company Much Asphalt have successfully constructed a section of road using locally available micro-fillers and recycled tyres. Following more than a year of combined laboratory development and evaluation efforts between CSIR Smart Mobility and the Much Asphalt Gauteng Regional Laboratory, the project came to fruition when the products under development were produced and paved into a controlled trial section in Roodepoort, Gauteng.
