Richards Bay notes on installation, repairs & parts
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.
Richards Bay: the properties, the water and the pump shops
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.
Who asks for borehole pump repairs around Richards Bay, most often first:
- Factories, plants and depots: a factory borehole pump with a burnt motor rewound or replaced
- Contractors and drillers: a specialist called in to fish out a pump dropped down a hole
- Farms: a stock water borehole pulled by crane truck when the troughs stopped filling
