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 waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: sealing roof decks, bund walls and sumps in factories, and protecting slabs in wash bays
- New houses: coating a new flat roof slab and treating basement or retaining walls before backfilling
- Complexes and apartment blocks: membranes on roof slabs, podium decks and balconies, plus repairs to leaking basement parking
- Shops, offices and restaurants: treating flat roofs above shops and offices, and damp basements, lift pits and service floors
- Family homes: sealing a leaking flat roof over a garage or patio, or a damp floor slab in an older house
- Farms and smallholdings: lining reservoirs, concrete tanks and dairy floors, and sealing roofs on farm buildings
