Welkom: the building, the weather and the yards
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.
Typical brick suppliers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: one delivered load of bricks for an extension, a garage or a boundary wall
- New brick-making businesses: a new block yard checking what nearby suppliers charge before setting its prices
- Brickyards and block yards: a yard buying in face bricks or pavers to sell beside its own cement bricks
