Roller Hire in Cape Town
Sit-on rollers with the operator included, compacting road bases, driveways, platforms and trench reinstatement across Cape Town.
Roller Hire for Compaction Work
Rollers are used when prepared ground, soil, gravel or sub-base needs to be compacted before the next stage of work. WAFCON provides roller hire in Cape Town for roadworks, trenches, driveways, paving preparation and construction sites.
Common Roller Uses
Soil compaction
Compacting fill and in-situ soil in layers to the density your engineer specifies.
Roadworks
Base and sub-base compaction on road building and rehabilitation work.
Driveways
Compacting the base course under new driveways so the surface doesn't settle and crack later.
Trenches
Reinstating trench lines after backfilling, compacting in lifts to prevent sinkage over services.
Paving preparation
A firm, even base under pavers and slabs, compacted before bedding sand goes down.
Construction sites
General compaction across building platforms, parking areas and working surfaces.
Base preparation
Layer-by-layer compaction of imported fill and base course ahead of concrete or surfacing.
