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 roller hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: compacting haul road repairs, stockpile pads and plant platforms at a mine or quarry
- 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
- 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
- Shopping centres, offices and schools: compacting base layers for parking areas and access roads at a retail or office development
