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 demolition and slab removal requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: breaking out thick slabs and machine bases in factories and yards using hydraulic hammers
- New houses: removing a badly poured slab or old structure from the plot before the new foundations go in
- Complexes and apartment blocks: removing damaged parking slabs, ramps and walkways in complexes, working around residents
- Shops, offices and restaurants: removing floors in shops and offices for refits, often at night or with strict dust control
- Family homes: breaking out an old driveway, patio or garage floor and carting the rubble away
- Farms and smallholdings: breaking out old dairy floors, tank stands and sheds slabs on farms where machines can reach
