Building conditions in Boksburg

Boksburg is an East Rand hub for warehousing, distribution and manufacturing, especially around Jet Park, Anderbolt and Witfield, where new and expanding facilities bring steel-frame buildings, concrete floors and yard paving. Residential suburbs such as Sunward Park and Parkhaven have older homes that are being extended and renovated, while new townhouse developments continue to go up. Heavy clay soils common on the East Rand swell and shrink with the seasons, so engineers often specify reinforced strip footings or rafts to limit cracking. Plans go through the City of Ekurhuleni. Summer storms and hail are frequent, and townships such as Vosloorus see steady home extensions.
