As South Africa accelerates its renewable energy ambitions, Sika South Africa is the trusted partner behind the foundations of the nation’s wind energy infrastructure. With decades of global expertise and a strong local footprint, Sika is more than a supplier – it is the one-stop solution for wind energy construction, maintenance, and protection.
From grouting wind turbine bases to sealing precast joints and protecting concrete against harsh conditions, Sika provides a complete suite of solutions engineered to last and proven under the world’s toughest fatigue testing.
“We don’t just participate in renewable energy — we lead it,” says Jacques Reinecke, Head of Renewable Energy at Sika South Africa. “Our products are approved by all major wind turbine OEMs, fatigue tested for long-term durability, and many of our grouts are proudly manufactured locally, ensuring rapid supply and support to remote project sites.”
At the core of Sika’s offering are specialised grouts such as Sikagrout®-295 ZA, 3200 ZA, 3350 ZA, and 9400. These high-performance grouts are engineered specifically for wind turbine base applications, delivering long-term stability and proven fatigue resistance under the toughest loading conditions.
Sika also drives concrete optimisation through advanced admixture technologies. Sika ViscoCrete® is designed for precast production, ensuring the quality of keystones in wind towers. Sika ViscoFlow® maintains workability and consistency in large pours for turbine bases, while SikaPlast® improves performance and durability in demanding conditions.
Complementing the structural solutions is a wide basket of sealing, repair, and protection products. From Sikadur®-31 CF for structural bonding, to Sikalastic®-560 for waterproofing, and SikaTop®-550 Seal for carbonation protection, every system is engineered for long-term performance. The MonoTop® range provides advanced repair mortars, while SikaTop® Armatec®-110 EpoCem® protects reinforcement steel. Trusted sealants like Sikaflex®-11 FC and Pro-3 ensure lasting elasticity in high-stress environments.
Every Sika grout for wind turbine applications is fatigue tested to international standards and validated by leading global OEMs. This gives South African contractors and developers confidence that they are building with globally benchmarked materials — manufactured and supported locally.
One of Sika’s greatest advantages lies in its hands-on technical support. “Our team travels between provinces to assist directly on-site,” adds Marchant Sevenster, Technical Sales & Vertical Market Energy. “We provide everything from specification guidance and applicator training to on-site checks — ensuring the system performs as intended.”
Combined with a national distribution network, rapid turnaround times, and deep knowledge of South African site conditions, Sika enables contractors and developers to build smarter, faster, and more sustainably.
With locally manufactured products, global approvals, and unmatched technical expertise, Sika is setting the benchmark for wind energy infrastructure in South Africa. When quality, performance, and reliability matter — Sika delivers.
