MAKENA SLABWORKS
Cape Town & Pretoria
NHBRC approved raft slab construction for Pretoria's challenging soil and geological conditions. 7+ years experience in Gauteng.
Specializing in raft slab construction for Pretoria's unique geological challenges
Parts of Pretoria are built on dolomite rock, which can cause sinkholes and ground instability. Raft foundations distribute loads evenly across unstable ground.
Historical mining activity in Gauteng can cause ground movement. Raft slabs provide a stable platform that moves as a unit.
Pretoria's red clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, causing foundation movement. Raft foundations minimize differential movement.
Extra steel reinforcement and thicker concrete sections for areas with potential ground movement.
Comprehensive soil testing and geotechnical reports before foundation design.
Strategic placement of movement joints to accommodate soil movement without cracking.
