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 water truck hire requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: running dust suppression on haul roads, ramps and stockpile areas all shift
- Factories, warehouses and logistics parks: bringing fill layers to moisture for compaction on a warehouse platform
- Roads, pipelines and civil works: spraying layer works ahead of the roller and damping haul roads beside traffic
- Housing estates and townships: watering internal roads before rolling and keeping dust off neighbouring homes
- House plots and renovations: filling a pool or site tank and settling dust on a dry residential building site
