Concrete work in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay, with calcareous dune sands near the beach and clay and shale inland, so founding conditions change across the metro. Salt air and wind-blown spray attack reinforcement, so cover and mix quality are important near the sea. Wind can dry fresh slabs too fast, so curing is a priority. The motor industry in Struandale and Coega drives industrial floors, while Walmer, Newton Park and newer estates see houses, extensions and driveways. Ready-mix and precast producers serve the metro, so supply is good, and deliveries along the coast to Jeffreys Bay and Addo are longer.
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
- 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
- Family homes: a first floor or balcony slab added to a family home, poured on props over existing walls
- Complexes and apartment blocks: repeated floor slabs for townhouses and apartment blocks, cast level by level over steel props
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an upper floor or mezzanine slab in a shop, office or showroom, designed for heavier loads
