What to know locally in Sandton
Houses in Bryanston, Hurlingham and Morningside often have a garden borehole in granite, with the pump feeding irrigation, the pool and sometimes a tank. Apartment blocks in Sunninghill and Rivonia use <a href="/booster-pumps/">booster sets</a> with variable speed drives to keep pressure steady on every floor, and many have backup tanks for when the municipal supply is cut. Body corporates should ask how the set is controlled and what happens during load-shedding.
Who pumps what in Sandton
Sandton's pumping problems are often underground. The office towers and apartment blocks around the CBD, Rivonia Road and Grayston Drive have several levels of basement parking, and groundwater seeping in plus storm water running down the ramps has to be pumped out by sump pumps that must not fail. Tall buildings need booster sets to push water to the top floors, with tanks on site for water cuts. In the gardens of Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside, boreholes in granite feed irrigation and pools. The Braamfontein Spruit and the Jukskei, which runs past Alexandra, rise fast in summer storms. Maintenance contractors and pump specialists come in from Wynberg, Kramerville and Marlboro.
