Hiring plant in Potchefstroom

Dolomite is the first thing to plan for when hiring plant in Potchefstroom. Much of the town and district is underlain by it, so student housing, campus upgrades, retail and farm work along the Mooi River all start with a geotechnical report, short open trenches and careful stormwater and pipe detailing to avoid sinkholes. Chert bands and rock pinnacles can need a breaker, and near the river the water table is high enough to require pumps. TLBs, excavators and rollers are the usual hires. Storms between October and March bring most of the rain. The N12 links Potchefstroom to Klerksdorp and Johannesburg, making plant easy to bring in.
