Hiring plant in East London

In East London, plant is hired for work around the river port, the vehicle plant and industrial development zone, and housing in Mdantsane, Beacon Bay and Gonubie. Excavators, dump trucks, rollers and graders handle industrial platforms and roads, while TLBs dig services and foundations. The ground is mostly Karoo mudstone and sandstone with dolerite intrusions, so footings may hit rock that needs a breaker, and coastal sand areas need careful compaction. Steep river valleys such as the Nahoon and Buffalo affect access and slope stability. Rain is spread through the year but heaviest from October to March. The N2 and N6 provide access, though rural routes inland are slow.
