Installation, repairs & parts in eMalahleni: local notes
Rewinders here are used to big three phase mine motors as well as small pool and booster pumps, so a burnt motor can often be fixed locally rather than sent to Gauteng. Lightning on the Highveld takes out control boxes every summer: ask for surge protection and a proper earth. Pump hire for contractors is busy around the power stations and road works on the N4 and N12, usually with delivery included.
eMalahleni: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Coal shapes almost every pumping job around eMalahleni. Opencast pits and underground workings toward Ogies and Kriel collect rain and groundwater that has to be pumped out day and night, and much of that water is acidic, so mines ask for pumps with wet ends that can handle it. In town the story is different: many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure, which is why so many houses in Del Judor, Reyno Ridge and Clewer now have a plastic tank and a booster pump. Boreholes are drilled here too, but water quality near old workings can be poor, so test before you drink it. Pump shops, rewinders and mine suppliers cluster in Ferrobank and along the N4 service roads.
The requests we see from eMalahleni usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: boreholes drilled for site water supply and groundwater monitoring
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a communal borehole drilled for the gardens of a complex or security estate
- Factories, plants and depots: a factory borehole for process water, with licensing checked first
