Hiring plant in Kathu
Iron ore built Kathu, and plant hire here leans heavily toward large mining contracts, solar plants, haul roads and housing for mine staff. Excavators, dozers, dump trucks, graders and water bowsers dominate, while TLBs and tippers handle services and housing in town, Sishen and Dingleton. Ground is typically Kalahari sand over hard calcrete and banded ironstone, so tracked machines travel well on the surface and rippers or breakers deal with what lies beneath. The little rain that falls arrives in summer storms, mostly between January and April. Kimberley and Upington are both a long haul away, so transport and standing time form a big part of every quote.
Typical TLB hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: general cleanup, drain trenches and loading spillage around plant areas and workshops
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: digging footings and cable trenches and clearing spoil around warehouse and factory sites
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: stormwater trenches, culvert excavations and loading material for road and pipeline works
- Housing estates and townships: service trenches for water, sewer and electricity across new stands and internal roads
- House plots and renovations: digging strip footings, pool holes and drain trenches, then backfilling and levelling the plot
