Hiring plant in Potchefstroom
Dolomite is the first thing to plan for when hiring plant in Potchefstroom. Much of the town and district is underlain by it, so student housing, campus upgrades, retail and farm work along the Mooi River all start with a geotechnical report, short open trenches and careful stormwater and pipe detailing to avoid sinkholes. Chert bands and rock pinnacles can need a breaker, and near the river the water table is high enough to require pumps. TLBs, excavators and rollers are the usual hires. Storms between October and March bring most of the rain. The N12 links Potchefstroom to Klerksdorp and Johannesburg, making plant easy to bring in.
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
- Farms, dams and game lodges: digging farm dams, deep drains and reservoirs, and clearing large stumps and rock
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: basement excavation and bulk earthworks for shopping centres, office blocks and parking
- 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
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: cutting and filling large warehouse platforms and terraces, and loading trucks with spoil
