Welkom: the building, the weather and the yards
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and its mine houses, hostels and planned suburbs reflect that. With mining shrinking, much of the brick work now is people building and extending their own homes, especially in Thabong, where cement brick yards line many streets. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs add rooms, garages and walls, and the maize and sunflower farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus need sheds and stores. Block yards in the industrial area serve builders across the goldfields, and machines and face bricks often come from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Frost in winter and big summer storms both damage uncovered bricks, and the flat land makes drainage around new walls important.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners: a homeowner fixing a small manual machine bought for one building project
- New brick-making businesses: a new brick maker learning which spares to keep before the first breakdown
- Brickyards and block yards: regular mould rebuilds, spare motors and bearings to keep a yard producing
