Hiring plant in Kimberley
Kimberley hires plant for diamond reprocessing, municipal infrastructure, housing in Galeshewe and surrounding areas, and farms along the Vaal and Riet rivers. Excavators, TLBs, graders and rollers are the most common machines. Thin soils over calcrete, Karoo shale and dolerite mean rock is often close to the surface, so a breaker or ripper is frequently needed for trenches and footings, and old mine areas and kimberlite pipes call for careful site investigation. Rainfall is low and comes mostly in summer thunderstorms between November and March, when gravel roads wash out. The N12 and N8 give good access, but the distances to other towns are long.
Typical generator hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: supplying temporary power to remote exploration camps, pumps and plant during shutdowns
- Housing estates and townships: powering site offices, tools and dewatering pumps on a new housing estate without grid supply
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: powering lighting towers, pumps and site camps along road, bridge and pipeline contracts
- Farms, dams and game lodges: running irrigation pumps, cold storage and packhouses on a farm during outages
- House plots and renovations: running power tools, a mixer and lights on a new house build before the electrical connection
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: backing up a shopping centre, office or clinic during load shedding and powering site works
