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 suspended slabs requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses and factories: a heavy suspended slab for a mezzanine, loading deck or plant platform, designed by an engineer
- Family homes: a first floor or balcony slab added to a family home, poured on props over existing walls
- Extensions and backyard rooms: a new room or second storey slab over an existing house, often needing pump access through a tight yard
- New houses: the first floor slab of a new double storey house, cast once the ground floor walls are up
- Farms and smallholdings: a slab over a farm store, lodge unit or workshop, with trucks travelling a long way to site
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an upper floor or mezzanine slab in a shop, office or showroom, designed for heavier loads
