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 roller hire requests in the area come from:
- Housing estates and townships: compacting internal roads, services trench backfill and stand platforms on a new township
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: compacting subgrade, subbase and base layers behind a grader and water truck on road works
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: compacting base layers for parking areas and access roads at a retail or office development
- Farms, dams and game lodges: compacting dam wall layers with a padfoot roller and firming up gravel farm roads
- House plots and renovations: rolling a driveway base or garage platform with a pedestrian or small ride-on roller
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: rolling thick fill platforms and yard layers to specified density for a warehouse floor
