Concrete work in Pinetown
Pinetown sits on the hills inland of Durban, where steep stands, weathered shale and clay soils call for stepped footings, retaining walls and sometimes piles, and slopes need good drainage. Hillcrest, Kloof and Cowies Hill see split-level houses with suspended slabs over garages, while townhouse complexes and the industrial areas add roof slabs, warehouse floors and hardstand. Humid weather and heavy summer rain disrupt pours, and rain on fresh concrete damages the surface. Ready-mix and precast yards in the Durban metro serve the area, so supply is strong, but narrow, steep roads can stop full trucks and call for a pump or a smaller delivery.
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
- Extensions and backyard rooms: a new room or second storey slab over an existing house, often needing pump access through a tight yard
- Complexes and apartment blocks: repeated floor slabs for townhouses and apartment blocks, cast level by level over steel props
- 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
- Shops, offices and restaurants: an upper floor or mezzanine slab in a shop, office or showroom, designed for heavier loads
