Richards Bay notes on machines & equipment
Many block yards around Empangeni and Esikhaleni use engine driven egg-laying machines because power can be patchy on outlying stands. Salt and damp attack steel, so wash the machine after use, grease bearings often and repaint chipped frames. The local coastal sand can be fine and clean, but test a batch first, since too much fine sand gives weak blocks. Most yards add a mixer early on.
Richards Bay: the building, the weather and the yards
Port and smelter work drives building in Richards Bay. Contractors build workshops and boundary walls around the industrial areas near the harbour, while families extend homes in Esikhaleni, eNseleni and Ngwelezane and newer houses go up in Meerensee and Birdswood. The ground is mostly sandy coastal soil, so foundations and paving bases need good compaction. Salt air and humidity are hard on everything: face brick near the beach shows efflorescence and steel parts on brick machines rust quickly. Block yards work from Alton and Empangeni, and many small yards in the surrounding villages make cement blocks on the spot. Summer brings heavy rain, so covered curing areas matter.
Typical brick making machines requests in the area 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
- Brickyards and block yards: adding a second machine or a new mould to keep up with orders from builders
Local tips for Richards Bay
Common here: cement blocks for homes and walls, paving for sandy yards. Ask each supplier or contractor about this: ask whether the machine frame is galvanised or painted for coastal use. Where they work from: block yards in Alton and Empangeni, small yards in the surrounding villages.
Requests range widely: manual egg-layers to hydraulic static presses. Here, homeowners lead the requests, typically for a small machine to make your own bricks for a house, outbuilding or boundary wall. One local point to raise: bricks by truck from Alton and Empangeni; sand from coastal and inland pits.
