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 reinforcing mesh requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: Ref 193 or 245 mesh for driveways, patios, carports and garage floors at existing family homes.
- Extensions and backyard rooms: mesh in the floor slab of a backyard room or granny flat, tied into the existing levels.
- Warehouses and factories: heavy mesh references for warehouse floors and yards that carry forklifts and loaded trucks.
- Shops, offices and restaurants: mesh for shop floors, entrances and showroom slabs that must stay flat under foot traffic.
- New houses: mesh sheets for the surface bed of a new house, laid on spacers over the damp-proof membrane.
- Farms and smallholdings: mesh for tank stands, shed floors and dairy or workshop slabs, often delivered over long distances.
