Hiring plant in Richards Bay

Built around a deep-water port, aluminium smelters, mineral sands mining and an industrial development zone, Richards Bay leans toward large platforms, harbour works, haul roads and stockpile areas. Excavators, dozers, dump trucks and rollers are common, with TLBs for housing and services in Meerensee, Arboretum and Empangeni. The ground is mainly coastal dune sand with a high water table, so tracked machines, wellpoint dewatering and careful compaction with a water cart are standard practice. Heavy rain falls from October to March and can flood low-lying sites. The N2 toll road links the town to Durban, and sugar cane haulage slows traffic during the crushing season.
