Superconcrete Pipes (S.A.) Limited / Superconcrete Pipes (S.A.) Ltd. plant at Rosslyn, Transvaal

Superconcrete Pipes (S.A.) Limited had an asbestos-cement factory at Rosslyn, near Pretoria in South Africa: in September 1964 Asbestos, the industry's trade journal, reported that the company "has ordered R400,000 worth of equipment from Italy to make asbestos-cement pressure pipes," and that other extensions would bring development costs "at Superconcrete's factory at Rozzlyn Border Industrial Township up to R700,000" (the journal's spelling of the name); at that point the pipe plant was an order and a plan.3

By December 1966 the journal reported the pipes in production: Superconcrete was "developing several new products including five-meter length asbestos-cement pressure pipes which are being produced at its Rosslyn branch, near Pretoria."1 In January 1968 Asbestos reported a visit by Prime Minister John Vorster "to its asbestos-cement factory at Rosslyn, situated in a border industrial area."2
