Mbombela notes on machines & equipment
Brick makers in the townships around Mbombela often start with an egg-laying machine and a shaded slab, and a few move up to static block machines with pallets. Heat means curing matters more than output: plan shade cloth, plastic and water. Ask suppliers about moulds for blocks and pavers and whether spares are kept in Mbombela or sent from Gauteng.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Mbombela
Lowveld heat and humidity change how bricks behave in Mbombela. Fresh cement bricks dry far too fast on a hot October slab, so yards here keep them damp, shaded and covered, and summer downpours can wash out a day's work in minutes. The city spreads across hills: estates and complexes in Karino and around Rocky Drift, family homes in West Acres and Sonheuwel, and fast-growing townships such as KaNyamazane and Matsulu where houses go up room by room in blocks. Granite quarries and river sand supply the building trade. Brickyards and block yards sit on the main routes into town, and machine sellers serve the many small brick makers in the townships and villages toward Hazyview.
The requests we see from Mbombela usually 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
