What gets put up around Secunda

That is why backyard rental rooms, built quickly in nutec or panels on a slab, are the main prefab order here.

Contractors on the plant and the nearby mines want site offices, change rooms and container stores that can be moved later. Suppliers come from local yards or along the N17 from Gauteng.
