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 slabs requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: heavy power-floated floors, yard slabs, machine bases, saw cutting and repairs for warehouses and factories
- New houses: foundations, surface beds and first-floor slabs for new houses, usually under NHBRC enrolment
- Complexes and apartment blocks: suspended slabs, roof slabs and parking areas for townhouse complexes and apartment blocks
- Shops, offices and restaurants: screeded, polished and sealed floors, entrance ramps and slabs for shops, offices and restaurants
- Family homes: driveways, patios, carports, garage floors and outbuilding slabs at existing family homes
- Farms and smallholdings: tank stands, shed and workshop floors, dairy and feedlot slabs and farm-road crossings
