Rössing,Swakop Uranium donates

In an effort to support improved road safety in the country, China National Nuclear Corporation’s Rössing Uranium and Swakop Uranium have installed Stimsonite road studs along the B2 road between Swakopmund and Arandis.

Stimsonite studs are embedded type reflective road studs for use on highways and other roads to improve delineating road markings on the surface of a road, increasing a driver’s ‘preview’ time before taking certain actions, particularly under wet or misty conditions and at night.

A media release jointly issued by the two mines on Tuesday indicated that the project which was handed over to the Roads Authority on Monday covers a distance of just over 40 kilometres and is valued at N$ 200 000.

Speaking at the event, representatives from both mines expressed concern at the ever-increasing road accidents, despite Namibia being named as one of the countries with the best road networks in Africa.

They highlighted their commitment at ensuring the safety of their employees as well as that of other road users.

“Supporting the Roads Authority Namibia to improve safe driving conditions on the B2 road between the two towns is but one of the ways in which our companies reaffirm our commitment to contributing to a safer and prospering Namibia,” the representatives noted. - Nampa
