Concrete work in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town on the Mooi River, with dolomite in parts of the district and clayey soils elsewhere, so a geotechnical report is common before building. Student housing, apartment blocks and townhouse complexes call for suspended and roof slabs designed by an engineer, while older houses add patios, driveways and granny flats. Cold Highveld winters bring frost, so concrete laid in June and July needs covering overnight. Farms and smallholdings around the town need silage slabs, dairy floors and tank stands. Ready-mix comes from plants in and near town, and deliveries to farms depend on gravel road conditions and the weight of the truck.
Typical suspended slabs requests in the area come from:
- Complexes and apartment blocks: repeated floor slabs for townhouses and apartment blocks, cast level by level over steel props
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: a slab over a farm store, lodge unit or workshop, with trucks travelling a long way to site
- 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
