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.
