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 demolition and slab removal requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: breaking out an old driveway, patio or garage floor and carting the rubble away
- Extensions and backyard rooms: taking out part of an existing slab or paving to make space for a new room
- Warehouses and factories: breaking out thick slabs and machine bases in factories and yards using hydraulic hammers
- Shops, offices and restaurants: removing floors in shops and offices for refits, often at night or with strict dust control
- New houses: removing a badly poured slab or old structure from the plot before the new foundations go in
- Farms and smallholdings: breaking out old dairy floors, tank stands and sheds slabs on farms where machines can reach
