Hiring plant in Cape Town
Cape Town's plant market spans city basements, Atlantic seaboard extensions, northern suburb estates, Cape Flats housing and harbour and logistics work. The ground varies enormously. Cape Flats sand with a high water table needs tracked machines and dewatering, Malmesbury shale weathers to stiff clay, and granite and Table Mountain sandstone on the slopes call for a breaker. Tight, steep stands on the seaboard favour mini excavators and skid steers. The rainy season runs from May to August, so bulk earthworks are usually planned for the dry summer when the water table is lower. Heavy traffic on the N1, N2 and M5 means float deliveries are often booked for early morning.
Typical dozer hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: stripping topsoil and pushing bulk fill across new township stands and internal road lines
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: cutting and filling a large terraced platform for a shopping centre and its parking
- House plots and renovations: clearing an overgrown smallholding stand and pushing a rough platform before a house goes up
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: levelling and ripping a warehouse platform before layer works and compaction start
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: pushing cut to fill along a new road alignment and shaping embankments
