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.
Typical paving bricks requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a paved driveway, a path to the front door or a patio by the braai
- Farms and smallholdings: pavers for a farmhouse yard, a wash bay or the floor of a shed
- Builders and bricklaying contractors: pavers ordered for driveways and walkways at the end of a house build
