Concrete work in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, lies at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, on clays and shale that swell and shrink and on alluvial ground along the Swartkops and Sundays rivers, so heave and drainage both need attention. The climate is dry and warm with strong winds and sudden cold fronts, which dry fresh concrete quickly. The motor industry and its suppliers need heavy floors, hardstand and workshop slabs, and older single-storey houses are extended and repaired. Citrus and farm work around Addo needs sheds, tank stands and packhouse floors. Ready-mix is batched in the area and in Gqeberha, so delivery is manageable, with longer trips to farms.
Typical rib and block slabs requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: light office floors and mezzanines inside warehouses and workshops, not heavy storage areas
- Family homes: first-floor additions and flat roof slabs on existing family homes, designed by an engineer
- Extensions and backyard rooms: bedroom and granny flat floors built over existing rooms with light, quick-to-lay ribs
- New houses: first floors and roof slabs for new double-storey houses, delivered cut to length
- Farms and smallholdings: lodge, guest house and farmhouse floors where a crane is hard to get to site
- Shops, offices and restaurants: mezzanine floors and upper storeys over shops and offices, with engineer-checked loads
