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 plant hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: load and haul, stockpile management, haul road upkeep, plant maintenance and lifting
- 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
- 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
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: bulk earthworks, basements, parking areas, lifting steel and cladding, and site power
