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.
