Trident Refractory

Celebrating Heritage Day at Trident Refractory Specialists: You Can’t Have Heritage Day Without a Braai! At Trident Refractory Specialists, we take pride in our work and our people. As a company deeply rooted in South African soil, we embrace every opportunity to honor our diverse heritage and celebrate the spirit of unity that defines us. And what better way to do that than with a good old-fashioned braai? Heritage Day, also fondly known as “Braai Day,” holds a special place in the hearts of South Africans. It’s more than just a public holiday—it’s a day where we come together to celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that make our country so unique. From the bustling cities to the quiet towns, families and friends fire up their braais, cooking together while sharing stories and memories that connect generations. The Braai Tradition at Trident Refractory Specialists Here at Trident, we cherish this tradition. The smell of sizzling boerewors on the grill, the sound of laughter, and the sense of camaraderie fill the air as our team gathers to celebrate. The braai is not just about the food—it’s about community. It brings together people from all walks of life to break bread (or, more often, meat!) and share in the joy of being South African. While our focus is usually on providing the best refractory solutions for industries across the country, Heritage Day allows us to take a step back and appreciate the strength we draw from our roots. Whether it’s a coal-fired braai at our Durban headquarters or a gas grill in our new Vredenburg office, the message is the same: unity, respect, and pride in who we are and where we come from. A Symbol of Our Diverse Workforce Our team at Trident is as diverse as the country we love. We proudly employ individuals from different backgrounds, all bringing unique skills and perspectives to the table. On Heritage Day, we celebrate not only our collective heritage but also the individual stories that contribute to our success. Celebrate with Us This Heritage Day, we encourage everyone—whether you’re at home with family, on-site with colleagues, or enjoying a quiet day off—to take a moment to appreciate the incredible diversity that defines us as South Africans. And, of course, no celebration would be complete without a braai! From all of us at Trident Refractory Specialists, happy Heritage Day! Let’s continue to celebrate our past, embrace our present, and work together for a brighter future.

At Trident Refractory Specialists, it’s not always about shutdowns and emergency breakdowns. Sometimes, we have the chance to work on unique projects, and we’re happy to share one of them! We recently had the pleasure of casting a arch inside the boiler of a 1912 locomotive for the Umgeni Steam Railway, which is currently undergoing a 12-year restoration project Since 1982, Umgeni Steam Railway has been dedicated to preserving our railway heritage, operated entirely by passionate volunteers who restore these historic trains. While our contribution was just a small part of their efforts, we were delighted to assist in keeping the steam train tradition alive. It’s rewarding to be involved in a project that blends history and engineering, and we’re glad we could lend a hand.
