Hiring plant in Newcastle

Northern KwaZulu-Natal's industrial centre combines steel, textiles and chemicals with coal mining and farming, so Newcastle hires plant for industrial yards, mine haul roads and rehabilitation, farm dams, and housing in Madadeni and Osizweni. Karoo sandstone and shale with dolerite sills create mixed ground, which means a breaker is often needed for trenches, while clay pockets call for deeper footings. Old coal workings in the district make site investigation worthwhile before heavy platforms go in. Thunderstorms between October and March can be heavy, sometimes with hail. The N11 links Newcastle to Ladysmith and Mpumalanga, keeping float costs moderate.
