What to know locally in Randfontein
Motor rewinders and pump workshops in Randfontein handle large mine motors as well as household borehole pumps, so most repairs stay local. Ask for an insulation test and a written repair quote before a rewind. Lightning and voltage dips hit control boxes on the plots, so ask for surge and under voltage protection. Cable theft is common in places: ask how the installer protects the drop cable and surface wiring.
Randfontein: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Randfontein and Westonaria are old gold mining towns, and the Far West Rand sits on large dolomite compartments that held so much water the mines had to pump enormous volumes to keep working. That history explains the sinkholes some areas have seen and why drilling on dolomite here should be done with care. Mining still drives demand for dewatering, slurry and sump pumps, and a cluster of pump and motor workshops services them. In town, Greenhills and Randgate homes use tanks and boosters through water cuts, and the plots on the edges run borehole pumps for houses, chickens and vegetables. Workshops sit in Randfontein's industrial area and along the road to Westonaria.
Typical borehole pump installation requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: site supply boreholes equipped with pumps, pipe and control panels
- Farms: a deeper three phase set lowered by crane truck to fill stock troughs and a reservoir
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs fitted with a pump, cap and pipe to a tank
