Hiring plant in Bloemfontein
Mangaung combines a provincial and judicial capital with large farms on its edges, so plant hire covers housing, government buildings, hospitals, schools and municipal road work as well as farm dams and drainage. TLBs, excavators, graders and rollers are the most common hires. Ground is mainly Karoo mudstone and shale that weathers to expansive clay, so foundation trenches are dug deeper and backfill is compacted with care, while dolerite koppies such as Naval Hill need a breaker. Rain falls in summer thunderstorms between November and March, leaving clay sites sticky. Because the N1 and N8 meet here, Bloemfontein is a convenient base for moving plant across the Free State.
Typical plant hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: service trenches for water, sewer and electrical, internal roads, stand platforms and stormwater
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: cut and fill, layer works, compaction, culverts, kerbs and pipeline trenches
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: bulk earthworks, basements, parking areas, lifting steel and cladding, and site power
- Farms, dams and game lodges: earth dams, contour banks, farm roads, bush clearing and loading feed, bales or produce
- House plots and renovations: site clearing, foundation trenches, driveways, pools, retaining walls and rubble removal
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: large terraces and platforms, yard paving layer works, loading and lifting in warehouses
