What to know locally in Secunda
Small yards in Embalenhle run egg-laying machines on concrete slabs, and a few contractors use static block machines with pallets and a curing shed. Shutdown work makes demand lumpy, so check you can keep a machine busy year round. Ask the supplier about mould options, power supply, spares and the output with your crew before you buy.
Secunda: the building, the weather and the yards
Built around a big synthetic fuel complex, Secunda is a company town that keeps growing outward. Family suburbs in Secunda itself and Trichardt add rooms, garages and boundary walls, while Embalenhle grows with RDP houses, backyard rentals and shops built from cement maxi bricks and blocks. Contractors serving the plant need blocks for workshops and stores, and shutdown periods bring work crews who rent rooms, which keeps backyard building busy. Yards in the industrial area and in Embalenhle sell bricks off the slab, and some use ash from the area in their mix. Sand comes from pits around Bethal and Kinross. The Highveld frost and the long dry winter wind are the main risks to curing bricks here.
Who asks for block making machines around Secunda, most often first:
- 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
