Gauteng notes on machines & equipment
Many small yards in Orange Farm, Ivory Park and Ga-Rankuwa started with one egg-laying machine on a home slab and a single phase vibrator. Machine sellers and mould makers work from the industrial areas of Germiston, Benoni, Wadeville and Rosslyn, and most keep moulds for maxis, blocks and pavers. Electric machines suit sites with power, but keep a petrol or diesel option in mind for plots on the edge of Hammanskraal or Bronkhorstspruit.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Gauteng
Johannesburg started out with a brickfields of its own, and the province has never stopped building. Today the demand is spread across township extensions in Soshanguve, Tembisa and Diepsloot, back rooms and boundary walls in Soweto and Mamelodi, estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Lanseria, and factories from Germiston to Rosslyn. Cement brick and block yards sit on the edge of nearly every township, many of them small businesses running an egg-laying machine on a home slab, while clay brickyards and machine sellers work from the industrial belts. Sand comes in by tipper from pits south and west of the metros. Highveld frost in winter and violent summer storms are the two things to cover fresh bricks against.
Typical brick making plants requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a contractor setting up its own plant for a steady stream of large jobs
- Housing developers and complexes: an on-site or nearby plant supplying bricks and blocks for a large housing development
