Welkom notes on installation, repairs & parts
Welkom's workshops have long experience rewinding large mine motors and rebuilding pumps, and that skill carries over to farm and domestic repairs. Ask for a written repair quote before a rewind on a small pump. Solar quotes on farms should include anti-theft mounting, because panel and cable theft is a known problem in the goldfield. Pump hire for dewatering is available locally.
Water and ground in Welkom
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and mine water is still the defining pumping issue. As shafts close, someone has to keep pumping or groundwater rises through the old workings, so high head shaft pumps and their motors are big business. Mine water pumped to the surface has filled pans around the town, and tailings retreatment needs slurry and return water pumps. Away from the mines, maize, sunflower and cattle farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus rely on boreholes, and windmills are steadily being replaced by solar pumps. Town houses in Riebeeckstad and Doorn add tanks and boosters when supply is interrupted. Ground is mostly Karoo shale and sandstone, with dolerite in places.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: site supply boreholes equipped with pumps, pipe and control panels
- Homeowners: a garden borehole in the suburbs fitted with a pump, cap and pipe to a tank
- Factories, plants and depots: a borehole pump feeding process or wash bay water to a tank at a factory
