Sandton notes on installation, repairs & parts
Building managers usually hold service contracts with pump and maintenance firms for sumps, boosters and fire pumps. For houses, rewinders and pump workshops in Wynberg and Marlboro collect and repair pool, borehole and booster motors. Johannesburg asks for boreholes to be registered, so check before drilling. Ask any contractor to test the high level alarm and the standby pump on each visit, not only the duty pump.
Water and ground 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.
The requests we see from Sandton usually come from:
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: a lodge borehole box with a timer to rest a low yield hole
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: village borehole panels with lightning protection and lockable doors
- Homeowners: a box with dry run and surge protection for a garden borehole pump
