Alberton notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Alrode factories need sump pumps in pits and loading docks, and wash down areas use dirty water pumps. The Natalspruit floods low lying areas in Thokoza and parts of Alberton after heavy rain. Estates on the hillsides sometimes need sewage pump stations where the sewer is uphill. Pool pumps in Brackenhurst and New Redruth gardens are the usual home repair.
Alberton: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Alberton lies between the Klipriviersberg hills and the industrial belt of Alrode, and it has had more than its share of water cuts, with suburbs like Brackenhurst, Brackendowns and Randhart going days without water. Tanks and boosters are therefore a standard fit on many houses here. Meyersdal and the estates on the slopes of the Klipriviersberg are on rock, which affects both boreholes and drainage. Alrode is a big industrial area with metal works, food plants and transport yards, and that is where many pump shops, rewinders and spares counters are. The Natalspruit and smaller streams run through the area and rise quickly in heavy storms.
The requests we see from Alberton usually come from:
- Homeowners: a deep pool or basement excavation kept dry while the shell is built
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: service trenches and foundations kept workable during a new phase of building
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: basement excavations for offices and malls held dry through the summer rains
