Hiring plant in Kimberley
Kimberley hires plant for diamond reprocessing, municipal infrastructure, housing in Galeshewe and surrounding areas, and farms along the Vaal and Riet rivers. Excavators, TLBs, graders and rollers are the most common machines. Thin soils over calcrete, Karoo shale and dolerite mean rock is often close to the surface, so a breaker or ripper is frequently needed for trenches and footings, and old mine areas and kimberlite pipes call for careful site investigation. Rainfall is low and comes mostly in summer thunderstorms between November and March, when gravel roads wash out. The N12 and N8 give good access, but the distances to other towns are long.
Typical bobcat hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: cleaning spillage under conveyors and around crushers and workshops in confined areas
- Housing estates and townships: cleaning stands, spreading base and loading waste between rows of new houses
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: sweeping milled surfaces, clearing verges and spreading material along kerbs and sidewalks
- Farms, dams and game lodges: cleaning out sheds and feedlots, moving feed and drilling post holes for fencing
- House plots and renovations: clearing builder's rubble, spreading topsoil and levelling driveways and patios for paving
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: preparing parking areas, sweeping roads and moving pallets around shopping centres and offices
