Abstract

Introducing modern technologies into an existing market can be a challenge, but most would agree that the recipe for success must bring together simplicity, technical performance, time savings, high safety and quality standards, and cost savings. Pursuing these goals, piling contractor GeoPile Africa (Pty) Ltd has sourced and introduced into the local market the DUKTUS ductile cast iron pile system under an exclusive licence agreement.
