Hiring plant in Secunda

Built around a giant petrochemical complex, Secunda hires plant for shutdowns, industrial maintenance, coal mining and the housing and services of Embalenhle, Trichardt and Evander. Excavators, rollers and dump trucks handle industrial platforms and mine haul roads, while TLBs dig services and foundations in town. Ground is mainly Karoo shale and mudstone weathering to clay, with dolerite intrusions that may need a breaker, and the flat landscape drains slowly after a storm. Clay sites become waterlogged during the October to March thunderstorm season. The tolled N17 and the R546 link Secunda to Gauteng, and shift-change traffic around the plant can hold up float deliveries.

Typical excavator hire requests in the area come from:

• Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: cutting and filling large warehouse platforms and terraces, and loading trucks with spoil
• Mines and quarries: large excavators loading haul trucks, building stockpiles and cleaning pit benches
• Housing estates and townships: deep sewer and stormwater trenches and bulk cut and fill for new stands and roads
• Roads, pipelines and civil works: cuts, drainage, culverts and pipeline trenches along road and bridge projects
• House plots and renovations: digging a basement, large pool or cut-and-fill platform on a sloping residential plot
• Farms, dams and game lodges: digging farm dams, deep drains and reservoirs, and clearing large stumps and rock
