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 roof slabs requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: heavy roof slabs and plant-room decks designed for equipment loads
- New houses: roof slabs for new homes, poured to a fall and waterproofed before handover
- Complexes and apartment blocks: roof slabs and podium decks for townhouses and apartment blocks, with waterproofing and drainage
- Shops, offices and restaurants: flat roof slabs for shops and offices that carry plant, tanks or solar panels
- Family homes: flat roof slabs over garages, patios and extensions on existing family homes
- Farms and smallholdings: roof slabs for lodges and farm buildings, where long delivery distances call for planned pours
