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.
