Machines & equipment in Midrand: local notes
Ivory Park and Kaalfontein have many stands where a small egg-laying machine sells cement bricks straight to the street. The industrial stands around Olifantsfontein and Commercia suit a larger static machine or a small plant with a pan mixer. Smallholdings in Glen Austin and Blue Hills can take an engine driven machine where three phase power is not available. Ask the supplier which moulds come standard and what spares they keep.
Bricks, blocks and brick making in Midrand
Halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, Midrand has grown on the open land along the N1, and much of the building is new: estates in Waterfall, Kyalami and Carlswald, rows of sectional title complexes in Noordwyk and Vorna Valley, and office and logistics parks near Allandale Road. To the east, Ivory Park, Ebony Park and Rabie Ridge add rooms and rental units in cement bricks bought from small yards or made on the stand. Developers order face brick and plaster bricks in bulk, so ask about the full order up front for colour. Yards sit around Olifantsfontein, Kaalfontein and Halfway House. The ridges catch wind that dries fresh bricks fast in spring, and summer storms here can be violent.
Typical manual brick machines requests in the area come from:
- 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
