We’re also expanding our motorsports services into the region so watch this space for some interesting race circuit designs!
For now, we’ve been busy improving the surfaces of the continent’s roads and airfields. From Uganda, Tanzania and Zanzibar to Rwanda and Ghana, our African teams have been busy transporting equipment and skills across vast distances in this incredible area of the world. Here are a few of our recent projects:
One of the key differences between roads and runways in Africa compared to Europe lies in the materials used, the impact of climate, and maintenance challenges. African road and runway surfaces often need to withstand extreme heat and heavy seasonal rains, requiring materials that offer greater resistance to thermal expansion and water erosion.
Due to these climate factors, road surfaces may incorporate modified bitumen or polymer-based solutions to increase durability. Additionally, maintenance strategies must be adapted to manage the effects of rapid wear and tear caused by intense UV exposure and sudden downpours. Unlike Europe, where winter conditions demand de-icing solutions, African infrastructure maintenance focuses on preventing surface softening and rutting under extreme heat.
This is why it is crucial to use local experts who understand the specific requirements for each surface type. Roadgrip Africa brings deep knowledge of regional conditions, ensuring that materials and techniques are suited to the environment. With a specialised fleet of equipment, strong global logistics support, and decades of expertise, we deliver the highest standards of precision and durability in every project.
At Roadgrip Africa, we believe that our success is intertwined with the prosperity of the communities we serve. By employing local talent and collaborating with regional partners, we ensure that our projects not only meet international standards but also leave a lasting positive impact on local economies.
As we continue to expand our footprint across Africa, Roadgrip Africa remains dedicated to delivering excellence in infrastructure maintenance. Our blend of global expertise and local engagement positions us as a trusted partner for projects that drive safety, efficiency, and community development.
