Centurion notes on machines & equipment
Olievenhoutbosch and the plots west of the R55 suit a small egg-laying machine, because demand for cement bricks is steady and stands are large enough for a slab. The light industrial stands around Lyttelton and Highveld suit a three phase static machine. If you are setting up near the Hennops River, keep the slab off low ground that floods in summer and ask the supplier about moulds for maxi bricks and pavers.
Centurion: the building, the weather and the yards
Dolomite under parts of Centurion shapes how people build here: foundations on some stands need an engineer's design, and that comes before any brick order. Above ground, the town is a mix of large estates such as Irene and Midstream, sectional title complexes in Eldoraigne and Rooihuiskraal, office parks near the N1 and N14, and fast growing housing in Olievenhoutbosch. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks by the pallet for complexes, while Olievenhoutbosch families build rooms in cement maxi bricks from nearby block yards. Lyttelton and the Highveld Techno Park area bring yards and hardware stores close. The Hennops River valley gets cold, with frost on winter mornings, and summer storms roll in quickly from the south west.
Who asks for manual brick machines around Centurion, most often first:
- Housing developers and complexes: lever presses for labour-based housing projects that train local teams
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: a cheap second machine for small rural sites where there is no power
- Homeowners: making bricks yourself for a backyard room, boundary wall or outside toilet
