What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Building sites in Umhlanga, Ballito, the Durban beachfront and Richards Bay often hit water within a few metres in the sand, so <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a> and wellpoints are routine. Coastal estates and lodges run sewage pump stations, which need servicing and backup power. After heavy rain, basements, lift pits and garages in Durban need sump and drainage pumps, and Richards Bay plants handle slurry and process water.
Who pumps what in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has more rain than most of the country, and its pumping problems are often about too much water rather than too little. The floods of April 2022 left basements, yards and pump stations in and around Durban under water, and summer downpours still fill sumps fast. Along the coast, sandy ground around Durban, Richards Bay and the North and South Coast means construction sites rely on wellpoints and dewatering pumps, and many coastal estates run sewage pump stations. Inland, sugar cane, Midlands dairy and timber farms pump from rivers, dams and boreholes, and Newcastle has heavy industry. Yet water cuts in parts of eThekwini have also driven homes towards tanks and boosters.
The requests we see from KwaZulu-Natal usually come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: service trenches and foundations kept workable during a new phase of building
- Factories, plants and depots: pits for new plant, tanks and machine bases kept dry during construction
- Contractors and drillers: hired pumps and wellpoints for trenches, footings and pipelines
