Bricks & blocks in Boksburg: local notes
Vosloorus and Reiger Park build mostly in cement maxi bricks and blocks, then plaster. Sunward Park and Beyers Park homes extend in face brick, and complexes near the East Rand Mall use plaster bricks behind face brick skins. Warehouses in Jet Park and Anderbolt use 190 mm hollow blocks. Retaining blocks are used where estates have been built on old mine land with uneven ground.
Boksburg: the building, the weather and the yards

Reiger Park and Windmill Park add steady extension work. Near the airport, Jet Park and Witfield are full of warehouses and depots with hollow block walls, and that is where many block yards and machine sellers are found.

Highveld frost settles on the flat ground in winter, and storms in summer can drop hail, so pallets left on site need cover.
