Concrete work in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is vast, dry and sparsely settled, and concrete work follows mining, solar plants and farming. Kimberley, Upington, Kathu and Springbok pour houses, mine and plant floors, tank stands and yards. Heat and wind dry fresh concrete quickly, so early pours and curing matter, and nights can be cold. Sandy soils may collapse when wetted, while calcrete and rock near the surface can make excavation slow. Ground water and soils are often saline, so cement type and cover to steel deserve a question. Ready-mix plants are few and far apart, so delivery distance, part-load charges and site-mixed alternatives are central to quotes.
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
- Farms and smallholdings: a slab over a farm store, lodge unit or workshop, with trucks travelling a long way to site
- New houses: the first floor slab of a new double storey house, cast once the ground floor walls are up
- 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
- Complexes and apartment blocks: repeated floor slabs for townhouses and apartment blocks, cast level by level over steel props
