Hiring plant in Alberton
Hillside estates in Meyersdal and Brackenhurst, an industrial base around Alrode and large housing projects in Katlehong and Thokoza give Alberton a broad plant hire market. Sloping stands mean retaining walls, terraces and stepped platforms, which call for excavators and compactors, while township roads need graders and rollers. Underfoot is mostly Witwatersrand shale and quartzite, with rock close to the surface on the ridges and clay in the low areas, so a breaker is a useful extra. Between October and March, summer storms create fast runoff and erosion on cut slopes. The N3, N12 and R59 give good access, though morning traffic can delay floats.
Typical excavator hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: deep sewer and stormwater trenches and bulk cut and fill for new stands and roads
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: cutting and filling large warehouse platforms and terraces, and loading trucks with spoil
- House plots and renovations: digging a basement, large pool or cut-and-fill platform on a sloping residential plot
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: cuts, drainage, culverts and pipeline trenches along road and bridge projects
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: basement excavation and bulk earthworks for shopping centres, office blocks and parking
