Concrete work in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town on the flat Free State plains, with clayey and silty soils, shallow water tables in places and old mine ground that can settle. Mine-era brick houses are extended and repaired, and cracked and sinking slabs are a common complaint. Hard winter frost means fresh concrete must be covered, and strong winds in the dry season dry out surfaces quickly. Decline in mining has left empty buildings and plots, with demolition and rebuilding work. Ready-mix is batched in the area, but volumes are smaller than in Bloemfontein, so ask about minimum loads and delivery to Virginia, Odendaalsrus and outlying farms across flat but gravel-road country.
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
- Extensions and backyard rooms: opening a doorway from the old house into a new room, with a neat sawn edge
- 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
- New houses: coring sleeves for pipes and cables and sawing control joints in fresh floors of a new house
- Farms and smallholdings: coring or cutting for water lines, tank connections and workshop doorways on farms and smallholdings
