Machines & equipment in Randburg: local notes
Cosmo City and the plots near Kya Sand have room for small brick businesses, and an egg-laying machine on a slab can supply the extensions going up there. Strijdom Park and Kya Sand industrial stands suit a three phase static machine and a pan mixer. Ask a supplier about moulds for retaining blocks too, since there is steady demand on the ridges. Check any used machine for a worn mould before you buy.
Randburg: the building, the weather and the yards
Randburg is mostly settled suburbs, so brick work here leans to renovation and repair rather than new houses. Ferndale, Blairgowrie and Bordeaux have face brick homes from the 1960s and 1970s being opened up and extended, Linden and Northcliff have steep stands that need retaining walls, and the townhouse complexes off Malibongwe Drive and Hans Strijdom Drive replace and raise boundary walls. Strijdom Park and the industrial stands toward Kya Sand hold hardware stores and block yards, and Cosmo City to the north west keeps builders busy with rooms and extensions. Rocky ridges mean shallow soil on some stands, and summer storms run hard down the Northcliff slopes, so drainage behind walls matters.
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
- Landscapers and paving teams: solid blocks for garden walls, planters and low retaining walls
