Machines & equipment in Klerksdorp: local notes
Former mine workers and young builders around Klerksdorp often start a small yard with an egg-laying or manual machine. Ask the supplier about moulds for maxi bricks and blocks, output with your crew and spares supply. Used machines from closed yards come up for sale often in the goldfields; check the mould, the tamper and the vibrator motor before you buy.
Klerksdorp: the building, the weather and the yards
Gold built Klerksdorp and its neighbours Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mine houses, hostels and old brick suburbs still show it. Today the work is mostly homes and extensions: family houses in Flamwood and Wilkoppies, self-built and RDP houses in Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana, and shops and rooms along the main routes. Cement brick yards are spread through the townships, and block yards in the industrial area supply builders and farmers in the maize country around Hartbeesfontein. Some older suburbs were built with clay bricks from the district, so matching them on an extension takes a search. Dry, cold winters bring frost and hot summers bring storms, so new bricks need cover all year.
Typical block making machines requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: blocks made on site for boundary walls, outbuildings and quick structural walls
- Brickyards and block yards: adding hollow blocks to a brick range so builders buy everything in one place
