As part of the DuraLink™ Solution, the tubing pairs with Alkon’s DOT push-to-connect fittings to deliver exceptional durability, strength, and consistency across a wide range of applications. DuraLink™ DOT tubing is manufactured in the United States to provide dependable supply and stable lead times. It exceeds SAE J844 and DOT FMVSS 49 CFR 571.106 standards, delivering tensile strength that reaches nearly twice the SAE peak load requirement. The tubing also achieves elongation levels that far surpass the required benchmark. When paired with Alkon fittings, DuraLink™ DOT tubing provides best-in-class performance. In-house testing revealed that the closest U.S. competitor’s fitting and

The Competition Commission has launched raids on four steel production companies in South Africa, conducting search-and-seizure operations on suspicion of price fixing. The commission raided the premises of the four scrap metal purchasing companies operating in Germiston, Nigel, Vanderbijlpark, and Hammanskraal. The companies under investigation operate as buyers of shredded or processed scrap metals, which they use to produce long steel products. “The commission has reasonable grounds to suspect that the companies have engaged in fixing the purchase price of shredded or processed scrap metal,” it said. “It is alleged that these firms have made price adjustment announcements of the
Planned fixed investment projects worth around R800 billion have been announced for South Africa. According to Nedbank’s Capital Expenditure Project Listing, the roughly R800 billion announced in new projects trumps the annualised R193.2 billion and R260.4 billion recorded in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The improvement comes from a significant jump in new projects announced by all sectors. Projects in the private sector jumped sharply from just under R85 billion to around R200 billion. However, the private sector accounted for only 26% of the total, dwarfed by a jump in the value of projects announced by the general government. The largest
Key Takeaways: The longevity of a building is often determined not by its strongest beams or most expensive finishes, but by the integrity of its smallest joints and seals. In the relentless battle against the elements, moisture is the most persistent and destructive adversary. Without effective protection, water can infiltrate the building envelope, leading to rot, mold, corrosion of structural steel, and the eventual degradation of the entire structure. The sophisticated weather sealing technologies building longevity depends on have evolved from simple caulking to complex, integrated systems designed to manage air, vapor, and liquid water with surgical precision. By ensuring
Prefabrication Techniques Reducing On Site Construction Risk The traditional construction site is an inherently volatile environment, characterized by a multitude of moving parts, unpredictable weather conditions, and high-risk activities performed at height. For decades, the industry has sought ways to improve safety and efficiency, but it is only with the recent rise of sophisticated off site manufacturing that a truly transformative solution has emerged. By shifting a significant portion of the building process into a controlled factory setting, the prefabrication techniques on site construction risk mitigation requires are finally being realized at scale. This evolution is not just about building
