Concrete work in Pretoria
Pretoria lies in a valley between ridges, with clay soils in many suburbs and dolomite to the south and west. Heaving clay is a frequent cause of cracked floors and walls, so engineers specify foundations and moisture control. The city has government buildings, universities, townhouse complexes, estates in the east and industrial areas in Silverton and Rosslyn. Hot summers and cold dry winters with light frost affect pour timing and curing. Ready-mix plants around Pretoria and Silverton serve the city and Centurion within a short haul. Older suburbs have narrow streets and mature trees that can restrict truck and pump access.
Typical suspended slabs requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a first floor or balcony slab added to a family home, poured on props over existing walls
- 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
- 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
- Extensions and backyard rooms: a new room or second storey slab over an existing house, often needing pump access through a tight yard
