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 repairs requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: repairing joint edges, cracked bays and heavy-traffic slabs in factories and warehouses
- New houses: patching honeycombing and shrinkage cracks before floors are finished in a new house
- Complexes and apartment blocks: repairing spalling balconies, ramps and parking decks in townhouse complexes and apartment blocks
- Shops, offices and restaurants: repairing worn entrances, cracked showroom floors and loading areas without long shutdowns
- Family homes: fixing cracked driveways, sunken patios and flaking garage floors at older family homes
- Farms and smallholdings: mending cracked tank stands, dairy floors and farm yard slabs worn by animals and vehicles
