Newcastle notes on machines & equipment
Small yards in Madadeni, Osizweni and Blaauwbosch often run electric egg-laying machines on a home slab, and engine driven ones on farm plots. Frost is the main risk in winter: make bricks in the morning, cover them before evening and keep them damp, not frozen. Engineering workshops in the industrial area can repair frames, so a second hand machine is a reasonable start if the mould is sound.
Building with brick in Newcastle
Coal and steel country in northern KwaZulu-Natal has a long history of brickmaking, and Newcastle sits right in it. Madadeni and Osizweni grow by the street, with new rooms, family houses and boundary walls built in cement blocks and maxi bricks, while the older town has many face brick homes. The town gets cold, frosty winters and hard summer thunderstorms, so fresh cement bricks need covering in both seasons. Block yards, hardware stores and small backyard brickmakers supply most jobs, and engineering workshops in the industrial area can repair machines. Deliveries to farms around Utrecht and Dannhauser take a little longer, so plan loads ahead and check the farm road.
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
