Hiring plant in Randfontein

Gold mining history, agricultural smallholdings and new housing projects create steady demand in Randfontein for TLBs, graders, rollers and tippers. Much of the work is services installation, road formation and stand clearing for housing, along with mine rehabilitation and dump reclamation. Dolomite is present across parts of the West Rand, so geotechnical classification and careful water control are normal before trenches are opened, and ground near old shafts needs checking for undermining. On the ridges, rock can sit close to the surface. Thunderstorms between October and March cut up gravel roads quickly. Johannesburg is close via the R28 and N12, which keeps floating costs manageable.
