Machines & equipment in Welkom: local notes
Many people in Thabong and Virginia have started brick yards with an egg-laying or manual machine after mine jobs ended. Used machines often come up for sale in the goldfields, so check the mould, tamper and vibrator motor before you buy. Ask suppliers about output with your mould and crew, power options and spares.
Building with brick in Welkom
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and its mine houses, hostels and planned suburbs reflect that. With mining shrinking, much of the brick work now is people building and extending their own homes, especially in Thabong, where cement brick yards line many streets. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs add rooms, garages and walls, and the maize and sunflower farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus need sheds and stores. Block yards in the industrial area serve builders across the goldfields, and machines and face bricks often come from Bloemfontein or Gauteng. Frost in winter and big summer storms both damage uncovered bricks, and the flat land makes drainage around new walls important.
Who asks for brick making plants around Welkom, most often first:
- Homeowners: rarely needed for a house; plants supply the yards that homeowners buy from
- New brick-making businesses: a well funded venture with confirmed buyers, after starting smaller with one machine
- Brickyards and block yards: moving from single machines to an automated line to meet bigger orders
