Founded in 1981, Spray Pave became part of the Basil Read group of companies in 2006. Based in Gauteng, the company offers world-class technology and the most modern fleet of bitumen distributors to a large spectrum of clients based throughout sub-Saharan Africa. 

Spray Pave boasts a fleet of seven distributors with technically advanced Spraybar systems, seven bitumen haulers, an emulsion plant with accompanying CSIR and SRT certification and a state-of-the-art weigh-bridge installed at its premises. 

The company specialises in supplying and spraying top-quality bituminous products for Basil Read and other leading construction companies. Spray Pave currently has 47 projects under way in four provinces and is supplying products further into Africa, including Mozambique and Zambia. 


Using the Spray Pave mobile decanting plants and static tanks, hot bitumen can be shipped to the most remote sites to supply projects with drummed bitumen. Spray Pave recognised that simply delivering the product to a customer was not the end of the service that would be needed and offers full training to customer employees at the decanting plant. 

Using its fleet of modern tankers, Spray Pave supplies bulk product to projects that require the supply, delivery and
spraying of primes, emulsions and road binders. These include: 
  • The supply delivery and spraying of primes and emulsions on the N3 toll road between Heidelberg and Cedara in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province.
  • The supply, delivery and spraying of primes, emulsions and road binders on the Bakwena N4 toll route that runs from Lobatse in Botswana to Tshwane (Pretoria) in South Africa.
  • The supply of bitumen and primes for major projects on the EN1 in Mozambique.
  • A three-year contract to supply and deliver bitumen to Mmila Projects, its associate company, to service its contract with the city of Tshwane (Pretoria) in Gauteng, South Africa.

In a world demanding cleaner industry at lower prices, Spray Pave is committed to ongoing research in replacing products traditionally used by the road surfacing industry. Spray Pave currently meets European guidelines and legislation. It is also a member of the Southern African Bitumen Association (SABITA), the main activities of which is “encouraging best practice in the use and application of bituminous materials; worker safety and environmental conservation; education and training and contact with government on the value of road provision and preservation.”
