Mpumalanga notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Coal mines between eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda pump water out of opencast pits and underground workings all year, which keeps heavy <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a> and slurry pumps busy. Plants and washeries run sumps full of fines that wear wet ends fast. In the Lowveld, lodges and estates use sewage pump stations, and summer downpours flood low lying yards and roads around Mbombela.
Mpumalanga: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Two very different pumping markets share this province. On the Highveld around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, coal mines and big plants need dewatering pumps, slurry pumps and three phase sets that run day and night, and mine water management is a constant job. Drop down the escarpment and the Lowveld is all irrigation: citrus, macadamias, bananas and vegetables along the Crocodile and Sabie rivers, fed from rivers, dams and boreholes. Granite sits close to the surface around Mbombela and White River, so boreholes are drilled into fractured hard rock. Lodges and estates near the Kruger gates rely on boreholes and small sewage pump stations, and summer storms hit both halves hard.
Typical dewatering pumps requests in the area come from:
- Farms: a flooded dam basin or irrigation trench pumped out for repairs
- Mines and quarries: open pits, shafts and underground sumps pumped around the clock
- Factories, plants and depots: pits for new plant, tanks and machine bases kept dry during construction
