Installation, repairs & parts in Secunda: local notes
A lot of local pump work is maintenance on contract, so workshops here are used to repairing seals, bearings and impellers on larger process pumps as well as rewinding motors. For a house, a local technician can usually replace a pressure switch or capacitor the same week. Lightning is common, so surge protection on control boxes and VSDs is worth the small extra cost.
Who pumps what in Secunda
Secunda was built around a huge petrochemical plant, and the plant still sets the tone for pump work in the area. Process, cooling water, effluent and chemical duty pumps are bought and serviced by contractors who work under strict site rules, while coal mines around the town add dewatering and slurry work. Evander and Kinross grew up on gold mining, and old shafts there are another source of mine water. Houses in Secunda, Trichardt and Embalenhle draw from the municipal network, and when it fails, tanks and boosters fill the gap. Farms around Bethal grow maize and soya on boreholes and dams. Highveld storms are violent here, and lightning damage to control gear is a regular repair.
Who asks for borehole drilling around Secunda, most often first:
- Factories, plants and depots: a factory borehole for process water, with licensing checked first
- Contractors and drillers: a building contractor arranging a borehole for a new development
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs drilled to ride out water cuts
