Building conditions in Rustenburg

Black turf clay is a major building concern in Rustenburg. The clay swells when wet and shrinks in dry winters, which can crack walls and slabs, so engineers often specify reinforced or deeper foundations, raft slabs or removal and replacement of the clay. Rocky ground near the Magaliesberg brings the opposite problem of hard excavation. Platinum mining has driven demand for housing, townhouse complexes and estates for mine staff, along with extensions in Phokeng, Tlhabane and Boitekong. Summers are hot, with thunderstorms and hail. Rustenburg Local Municipality approves building plans, and mine-related workshops and warehouses add industrial work.
