Concrete work in Kathu
Kathu stands on Kalahari sand over calcrete, and loose sandy ground can be collapsible or low in bearing strength, so compaction and sometimes deeper footings are needed under slabs. Iron ore and manganese mining drives housing, complexes, offices and heavy industrial hardstand. Summers are fiercely hot, so pours start before dawn and need wet curing or a curing compound, while cold winter nights can give a light frost. Fine red sand also gets into mixes and joints if sites are not kept clean. Ready-mix is batched locally for mine work, but supply for small jobs may come from Kuruman or further, so expect long delivery distances and minimum loads.
Typical concrete cutting and coring requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: sawing machine trenches and floor joints and coring heavy slabs in factories and warehouses
- New houses: coring sleeves for pipes and cables and sawing control joints in fresh floors of a new house
- Complexes and apartment blocks: coring through slabs for risers and sawing openings in blocks of flats and student housing
- Shops, offices and restaurants: cutting new trenches for plumbing or sawing shopfront and lift openings in shops and offices
- Family homes: cutting a doorway through a brick-and-concrete wall or coring for a new drain, during home alterations
- Farms and smallholdings: coring or cutting for water lines, tank connections and workshop doorways on farms and smallholdings
