Midrand notes on machines & equipment
Ivory Park and Kaalfontein have many stands where a small egg-laying machine sells cement bricks straight to the street. The industrial stands around Olifantsfontein and Commercia suit a larger static machine or a small plant with a pan mixer. Smallholdings in Glen Austin and Blue Hills can take an engine driven machine where three phase power is not available. Ask the supplier which moulds come standard and what spares they keep.
Building with brick in Midrand
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand has grown on the open land along the N1, and much of the building is new: estates in Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald, rows of sectional title complexes in Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, and office and logistics parks near Allandale Road. To the east, Ivory Park, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge add rooms and rental units in cement bricks bought from small yards or made on the stand. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks in bulk, so ask about the full order up front for colour. Yards sit around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House. The ridges catch wind that dries fresh bricks fast in spring, and summer storms here can be violent.
Typical block making machines requests in the area come from:
- Housing developers and complexes: a static block machine supplying blocks for estate walls and housing phases
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: blocks made on site for boundary walls, outbuildings and quick structural walls
- Homeowners: making hollow blocks for a long boundary wall or a garage at home
