Concrete work in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, lies at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, on clays and shale that swell and shrink and on alluvial ground along the Swartkops and Sundays rivers, so heave and drainage both need attention. The climate is dry and warm with strong winds and sudden cold fronts, which dry fresh concrete quickly. The motor industry and its suppliers need heavy floors, hardstand and workshop slabs, and older single-storey houses are extended and repaired. Citrus and farm work around Addo needs sheds, tank stands and packhouse floors. Ready-mix is batched in the area and in Gqeberha, so delivery is manageable, with longer trips to farms.
Typical concrete foundations requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: heavy pad footings and ground beams for a warehouse or factory, under steel columns
- Family homes: footings for a new garden room, boundary wall or carport beside an existing family home
- Extensions and backyard rooms: new footings tied to an existing house, dug carefully to avoid undermining the old walls
- New houses: strip footings or a raft for a new house, inspected by the engineer before the pour
- Farms and smallholdings: footings on farm and lodge plots, with long truck trips and sometimes poor access
- Shops, offices and restaurants: pad and strip foundations for a shop, office or restaurant building, designed to an engineer's drawing
