Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Richards Bay: local notes
Construction and maintenance at the port, the bulk terminals and the plants in Alton depend on dewatering, and wellpoints work well in this sand. Heavy industry runs slurry pumps for settling ponds and sumps, and dune mining along the coast moves sand and water by pump. Summer storms flood roads and yards in Esikhaleni and eNseleni, and drainage pumps are hired out in numbers after big rain.
Who pumps what in Richards Bay
Sand is the defining feature of pumping in Richards Bay. The town is built on coastal dunes with lakes all around, the water table is shallow, and almost every excavation near the harbour, the bulk terminals and the industrial areas of Alton needs dewatering, often with wellpoints jetted into the sand. Heavy industry and the harbour keep slurry, process and sump pumps working around the clock, and dune mining along the coast moves sand and water by pump. Inland, sugar cane covers the hills around Empangeni and Felixton, with irrigation from rivers and boreholes. Tropical downpours flood low ground quickly. Homes in Meerensee and Arboretum often use shallow wellpoints for gardens, but the water can be high in iron.
Typical pool pumps requests in the area come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: rarely relevant, apart from staff recreation pools at large sites
- Contractors and drillers: pool builders and renovators fitting new pumps and filters
- Farms: guest house and staff pools kept clean with simple single speed pumps
