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 jackhammer hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: trimming kerbs, breaking out bad concrete and cutting into slabs for service connections
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: breaking floors for new drains and removing old shopfront plinths during refits
- House plots and renovations: breaking an old driveway, bathroom floor or garden path before a renovation
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: breaking out worn factory floors and old machine bases before new plinths are cast
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: pneumatic breakers opening road surfaces and pavements for pipe and cable repairs
