Hiring plant in Krugersdorp

Around Mogale City, machines are hired for township housing, estate development toward Muldersdrift, quarry and lime operations, and service upgrades. Dolomite underlies large parts of the area, so excavation is never simply a case of sending in a TLB: an engineer usually signs off the site first, trenches are kept short and closed quickly, and water is directed away from open ground to avoid sinkholes. Closer to the Magaliesberg, slopes and rock outcrops need an excavator with a breaker. The Highveld storm season from October to March raises the risk on dolomite. Access is via the N14 and R28, though both are slow during the morning rush.
