Machines & equipment in Durban: local notes
Small brick-making yards on open stands in Umlazi, KwaMashu and Inanda mostly run egg-laying machines on a concrete slab, electric where there is a supply and engine driven where there is not. The humid air means bricks need longer under cover before they are stacked, so plan more slab space than an inland yard would. Within a few kilometres of the sea, ask for galvanised or well painted frames, and hose salt off the machine after a shift.
Building with brick in Durban
Humidity is the first thing a Durban builder plans around. Cement bricks and blocks cure slowly in the damp, sticky air, and summer downpours can wash out a fresh slab of bricks in an afternoon, so yards cover their rows and keep stock on pallets longer. Most of the metro builds in cement blocks and maxi bricks: extensions in Chatsworth and Phoenix, new rooms and boundary walls in Umlazi and KwaMashu, and complexes going up around Umhlanga and Cornubia. Face brick near the beachfront and the Bluff often shows white efflorescence from the salt air, and steel on brick machines rusts quickly. Block yards sit along the industrial belts in Jacobs, Prospecton and Riverhorse Valley, and tippers bring sand in from inland.
The requests we see from Durban usually come from:
- Homeowners: a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: making cement bricks on site for a job instead of trucking pallets in
- Housing developers and complexes: a static or hydraulic machine supplying bricks across a housing project or township extension
Local tips for Durban
Common here: cement blocks and maxi bricks for extensions, boundary walls and complexes. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask how long the bricks were cured and whether they were kept covered in the rain. Where they work from: block yards in Jacobs, Prospecton and Riverhorse Valley, sand yards inland.
Around Durban the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall. Before you agree to anything: bricks for sale should meet SANS 1215. Getting stock here: tipper sand from inland pits and quarries; bricks by flatbed with crane.
