Concrete work in Newcastle
Newcastle is an industrial town in the northern KwaZulu-Natal foothills, with dolerite, shale and expansive clays in places, so soil tests and stiffened rafts are common for houses. Winters bring hard frost, so fresh concrete needs covering, while summers are hot with hail and storms. Steel, textile and chemical industries, shopping centres and distribution yards need heavy floors and hardstand, and new complexes in Madadeni and the suburbs add housing. Older slabs on mining-affected or poorly compacted ground often crack and settle. Ready-mix is batched in town, but large specialist orders may come from Gauteng or Durban, and farm sites towards Utrecht and Dannhauser involve long gravel roads.
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
- Family homes: driveways, patios, carports, garage floors and outbuilding slabs at existing family homes
- Shops, offices and restaurants: screeded, polished and sealed floors, entrance ramps and slabs for shops, offices and restaurants
- Extensions and backyard rooms: footings and floor slabs for extensions, granny flats, backyard rooms and second storeys
- Farms and smallholdings: tank stands, shed and workshop floors, dairy and feedlot slabs and farm-road crossings
