Concrete work in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal mixes humid coast, warm midlands and cool Berg foothills. On the coast, salt air and humidity corrode reinforcement, so cover to steel, cement type and good compaction matter, and sandy soils can collapse or settle. Steep sites in the hills need retaining walls and stepped foundations, and heavy summer rain can wash out trenches. Durban has apartment blocks, warehouses around the port and many houses on slopes, while the midlands have farms, estates and lodges. Ready-mix plants are concentrated around Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay. Steep driveways, narrow roads and hillside access affect truck and pump choice, so describe your site in the request.
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
- Warehouses and factories: a heavy suspended slab for a mezzanine, loading deck or plant platform, designed by an engineer
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an upper floor or mezzanine slab in a shop, office or showroom, designed for heavier loads
- Farms and smallholdings: a slab over a farm store, lodge unit or workshop, with trucks travelling a long way to site
