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 jackhammer hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: breaking oversize rock, concrete spillage and old footings around process plants
- Housing estates and townships: trimming kerbs, breaking out bad concrete and cutting into slabs for service connections
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: pneumatic breakers opening road surfaces and pavements for pipe and cable repairs
- Farms, dams and game lodges: breaking out old dip tanks, kraal walls and reservoir floors for repair
- House plots and renovations: breaking an old driveway, bathroom floor or garden path before a renovation
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: breaking floors for new drains and removing old shopfront plinths during refits
