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 suspended slabs requests in the area come from:
- New houses: the first floor slab of a new double storey house, cast once the ground floor walls are up
- Complexes and apartment blocks: repeated floor slabs for townhouses and apartment blocks, cast level by level over steel props
- Family homes: a first floor or balcony slab added to a family home, poured on props over existing walls
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an upper floor or mezzanine slab in a shop, office or showroom, designed for heavier loads
- Warehouses and factories: a heavy suspended slab for a mezzanine, loading deck or plant platform, designed by an engineer
- Extensions and backyard rooms: a new room or second storey slab over an existing house, often needing pump access through a tight yard
