Hiring plant in Mbombela

As the Lowveld's main town, Mbombela sees housing estates, retail, hospitals, citrus and macadamia orchards and lodge construction toward the Kruger Park. Steep hillsides and granite shape most hires: excavators with breakers deal with rock outcrops, while TLBs and compactors build platforms, terraces and driveways. Red residual soils on the hills erode easily, so stormwater control and quick compaction are important. Summers are hot and humid, and heavy rain from October to March can wash out access roads and freshly cut banks. The N4 toll road links Mbombela to Gauteng and Maputo, but the climb up the escarpment makes floating heavy plant a slow trip.

Typical excavator hire requests in the area come from:

• Farms, dams and game lodges: digging farm dams, deep drains and reservoirs, and clearing large stumps and rock
• Housing estates and townships: deep sewer and stormwater trenches and bulk cut and fill for new stands and roads
• House plots and renovations: digging a basement, large pool or cut-and-fill platform on a sloping residential plot
• Shopping centres, offices and schools: basement excavation and bulk earthworks for shopping centres, office blocks and parking
• Roads, pipelines and civil works: cuts, drainage, culverts and pipeline trenches along road and bridge projects
• Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: cutting and filling large warehouse platforms and terraces, and loading trucks with spoil
