Hiring plant in Kathu
Iron ore built Kathu, and plant hire here leans heavily toward large mining contracts, solar plants, haul roads and housing for mine staff. Excavators, dozers, dump trucks, graders and water bowsers dominate, while TLBs and tippers handle services and housing in town, Sishen and Dingleton. Ground is typically Kalahari sand over hard calcrete and banded ironstone, so tracked machines travel well on the surface and rippers or breakers deal with what lies beneath. The little rain that falls arrives in summer storms, mostly between January and April. Kimberley and Upington are both a long haul away, so transport and standing time form a big part of every quote.
Typical generator hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: supplying temporary power to remote exploration camps, pumps and plant during shutdowns
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: standby power for production lines, cold rooms and workshops during outages or maintenance
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: powering lighting towers, pumps and site camps along road, bridge and pipeline contracts
- Housing estates and townships: powering site offices, tools and dewatering pumps on a new housing estate without grid supply
- House plots and renovations: running power tools, a mixer and lights on a new house build before the electrical connection
