Concrete work in Pretoria
Pretoria lies in a valley between ridges, with clay soils in many suburbs and dolomite to the south and west. Heaving clay is a frequent cause of cracked floors and walls, so engineers specify foundations and moisture control. The city has government buildings, universities, townhouse complexes, estates in the east and industrial areas in Silverton and Rosslyn. Hot summers and cold dry winters with light frost affect pour timing and curing. Ready-mix plants around Pretoria and Silverton serve the city and Centurion within a short haul. Older suburbs have narrow streets and mature trees that can restrict truck and pump access.
Typical concrete cutting and coring requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: cutting a doorway through a brick-and-concrete wall or coring for a new drain, during home alterations
- 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
- Warehouses and factories: sawing machine trenches and floor joints and coring heavy slabs in factories and warehouses
- Shops, offices and restaurants: cutting new trenches for plumbing or sawing shopfront and lift openings in shops and offices
- Extensions and backyard rooms: opening a doorway from the old house into a new room, with a neat sawn edge
