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 foundations requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Warehouses and factories: heavy pad footings and ground beams for a warehouse or factory, under steel columns
- Shops, offices and restaurants: pad and strip foundations for a shop, office or restaurant building, designed to an engineer's drawing
- 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
