Concrete work in Gauteng
Gauteng is the busiest concrete market in the country. Housing estates, townhouse complexes, offices, warehouses and mines all keep contractors and ready-mix plants working. Ground conditions vary a great deal. Expansive clays heave in parts of the province, dolomite underlies much of the West Rand and Centurion, and engineers set foundation and drainage rules for those areas under SANS 10400-H. Highveld winters bring frost on fresh pours, and summer storms arrive in the afternoon. Ready-mix plants are close to most suburbs, so trucks and pumps reach sites quickly, though estates may limit delivery hours and gate access.
Typical formwork and props requests in the area come from:
- New houses: props and decking under first-floor slabs, and shutters for surface beds and edge beams.
- Complexes and apartment blocks: large decking and prop systems for suspended and roof slabs, reused from floor to floor.
- Family homes: edge shutters for driveways, patios and garage floors, set level before the pour.
- Shops, offices and restaurants: shutters and propping for mezzanines, entrance ramps and raised slabs in shops and offices.
- Warehouses and factories: heavy shuttering for thick floors, crane bases and loading bays, with robust steel edge forms.
- Extensions and backyard rooms: props and bearers for a new upper floor, braced against the existing house structure.
