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 crane hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: changing heavy components, lifting conveyor sections and moving plant at a process plant
- Housing estates and townships: placing precast culverts, manholes and electrical kiosks along new estate roads
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: lifting precast bridge beams, culvert sections and gantry signs into position
- Farms, dams and game lodges: lifting silo sections, water tanks and pivot parts or offloading containers
- House plots and renovations: lifting a fibreglass pool, steel beams or roof trusses over a house into a back garden
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: erecting structural steel, lifting rooftop HVAC units and placing precast panels
