Hiring plant in Cape Town
Cape Town's plant market spans city basements, Atlantic seaboard extensions, northern suburb estates, Cape Flats housing and harbour and logistics work. The ground varies enormously. Cape Flats sand with a high water table needs tracked machines and dewatering, Malmesbury shale weathers to stiff clay, and granite and Table Mountain sandstone on the slopes call for a breaker. Tight, steep stands on the seaboard favour mini excavators and skid steers. The rainy season runs from May to August, so bulk earthworks are usually planned for the dry summer when the water table is lower. Heavy traffic on the N1, N2 and M5 means float deliveries are often booked for early morning.
Typical grader hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: trimming internal estate roads and stand platforms to level before kerbs and paving go in
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: spreading and trimming base layers for a shopping centre parking area and access roads
- House plots and renovations: levelling a large residential stand and shaping a long gravel driveway before paving
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: levelling terraces and yard layers to tight tolerances for a warehouse or logistics park
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: spreading, mixing and trimming gravel and base layers and cutting side drains on road works
