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 repairs requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: repairing joint edges, cracked bays and heavy-traffic slabs in factories and warehouses
- Family homes: fixing cracked driveways, sunken patios and flaking garage floors at older family homes
- Extensions and backyard rooms: repairing cracks where an old slab meets the new slab of a room or granny flat
- New houses: patching honeycombing and shrinkage cracks before floors are finished in a new house
- Farms and smallholdings: mending cracked tank stands, dairy floors and farm yard slabs worn by animals and vehicles
- Shops, offices and restaurants: repairing worn entrances, cracked showroom floors and loading areas without long shutdowns
