What to know locally in Richards Bay
Industrial pump repair, rewinding and wear part supply are well established in Alton and Empangeni, because the plants and terminals need fast turnaround. Pump hire yards carry wellpoint sets, header pipe, diesel driven pumps and slurry pumps. Sand wears borehole and wellpoint pumps, so impellers and bearings are common spares. Ask about a service plan for site pumps and how quickly a standby pump can be on site.
Who pumps what in Richards Bay
Sand is the defining feature of pumping in Richards Bay. The town is built on coastal dunes with lakes all around, the water table is shallow, and almost every excavation near the harbour, the bulk terminals and the industrial areas of Alton needs dewatering, often with wellpoints jetted into the sand. Heavy industry and the harbour keep slurry, process and sump pumps working around the clock, and dune mining along the coast moves sand and water by pump. Inland, sugar cane covers the hills around Empangeni and Felixton, with irrigation from rivers and boreholes. Tropical downpours flood low ground quickly. Homes in Meerensee and Arboretum often use shallow wellpoints for gardens, but the water can be high in iron.
