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 foundations requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: heavy pad footings and ground beams for a warehouse or factory, under steel columns
- New houses: strip footings or a raft for a new house, inspected by the engineer before the pour
- Complexes and apartment blocks: many foundations across a townhouse site, often raft slabs poured in a planned sequence
- Shops, offices and restaurants: pad and strip foundations for a shop, office or restaurant building, designed to an engineer's drawing
- Family homes: footings for a new garden room, boundary wall or carport beside an existing family home
- Farms and smallholdings: footings on farm and lodge plots, with long truck trips and sometimes poor access
