Gqeberha notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Coastal suburbs like Summerstrand and parts of the harbour area have sandy ground, and builders sometimes need dewatering for foundations and trenches. Industrial plants in Struandale and the Coega zone run sumps and effluent pumps. Heavy rain is less frequent here than in KZN, but when spring storms come, low lying parts of the northern areas flood. Estates on the edge of the city often run sewage pump stations.
Water and ground in Gqeberha
Nelson Mandela Bay learnt about water the hard way. A long drought left the supply dams very low for several years, restrictions were tight, and thousands of homes and businesses drilled boreholes or installed tanks. That is still the base of most pump work here: borehole pumps for gardens in Walmer, Lorraine and Newton Park, booster pumps on tanks across the northern areas, and pressure sets for factories. Groundwater quality varies, and some holes give salty or iron rich water, so test before you drink it. Leaks and burst pipes add their own outages. The harbour, the motor industry in Struandale and Markman, and the Coega zone keep industrial and dewatering pumps busy, and the wind and salt air wear out surface equipment.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Homeowners: a garden pond, birdbath or small fountain with a quiet submersible pump
- Factories, plants and depots: cooling and settling ponds aerated with floating fountain pumps
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: lodges, hotels and office parks with waterfalls and fountains in the gardens
