Machines & equipment in Upington: local notes
A small block machine can make sense in Upington, since trucking blocks from far away is costly. Ask the supplier about a diesel option, shade over the slab and output with your mould and crew. Heat makes water supply and curing the first things to plan. Check that spares like vibrator motors can reach Upington without a long wait.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Upington
On the Orange River at the edge of the Kalahari, Upington builds in fierce heat. Fresh cement bricks can dry out within hours on a summer slab, so local yards make early, cover with plastic and keep the rows wet. The green strip of vineyards from Kakamas to Keimoes needs packsheds, cellars and workers' housing, and Paballelo and the town suburbs add homes, rooms and boundary walls. Brickyards and block yards in town serve the river settlements, but face bricks and machines usually come from far away by long-haul truck. River sand is close at hand. Winter days are mild, though clear nights can still bring frost.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- Farms and smallholdings: a plant on farm land with its own sand, supplying a growing district
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a contractor setting up its own plant for a steady stream of large jobs
