What to know locally in North West
Platinum mines and concentrators around Rustenburg, Marikana and Northam pump slurry, tailings and process water, so <a href="/slurry-pumps/">slurry pumps</a> with hard metal or rubber lined wet ends are a steady request. Shafts and pits need dewatering, and gold mines near Klerksdorp and Orkney still handle underground water. In Hartbeespoort, lodges and estates near the dam use sewage pump stations and pond pumps.
Water and ground in North West
The platinum belt runs from Brits through Rustenburg, and its shafts, concentrators and tailings dams keep a whole industry of slurry, dewatering and process pumps at work. Around Brits and Hartbeespoort, smallholdings and vegetable farms take water from boreholes and from canals below the dam. Further west, the maize country around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Mahikeng leans on groundwater, much of it from dolomite aquifers that feed springs and town supplies, while cattle farms towards Vryburg still have windmills being swapped for solar pumps. Klerksdorp and Orkney sit on old gold mines with their own water to manage. Summers bring heavy storms; winters are dry, and borehole levels can drop late in the season.
The requests we see from North West usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: open pits, shafts and underground sumps pumped around the clock
- Smallholdings and plots: a new dam wall or trench drained during earthworks after rain
- Homeowners: a deep pool or basement excavation kept dry while the shell is built
