Concrete work in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town on the flat Free State plains, with clayey and silty soils, shallow water tables in places and old mine ground that can settle. Mine-era brick houses are extended and repaired, and cracked and sinking slabs are a common complaint. Hard winter frost means fresh concrete must be covered, and strong winds in the dry season dry out surfaces quickly. Decline in mining has left empty buildings and plots, with demolition and rebuilding work. Ready-mix is batched in the area, but volumes are smaller than in Bloemfontein, so ask about minimum loads and delivery to Virginia, Odendaalsrus and outlying farms across flat but gravel-road country.
Typical concrete slabs requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: driveways, patios, carports, garage floors and outbuilding slabs at existing family homes
- Extensions and backyard rooms: footings and floor slabs for extensions, granny flats, backyard rooms and second storeys
- Warehouses and factories: heavy power-floated floors, yard slabs, machine bases, saw cutting and repairs for warehouses and factories
- Shops, offices and restaurants: screeded, polished and sealed floors, entrance ramps and slabs for shops, offices and restaurants
- New houses: foundations, surface beds and first-floor slabs for new houses, usually under NHBRC enrolment
- Farms and smallholdings: tank stands, shed and workshop floors, dairy and feedlot slabs and farm-road crossings
