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 waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: sealing a leaking flat roof over a garage or patio, or a damp floor slab in an older house
- Extensions and backyard rooms: waterproofing the roof of a new room and the joint where it meets the existing house
- Warehouses and factories: sealing roof decks, bund walls and sumps in factories, and protecting slabs in wash bays
- Shops, offices and restaurants: treating flat roofs above shops and offices, and damp basements, lift pits and service floors
- New houses: coating a new flat roof slab and treating basement or retaining walls before backfilling
- Farms and smallholdings: lining reservoirs, concrete tanks and dairy floors, and sealing roofs on farm buildings
