What to know locally in Secunda
A lot of local pump work is maintenance on contract, so workshops here are used to repairing seals, bearings and impellers on larger process pumps as well as rewinding motors. For a house, a local technician can usually replace a pressure switch or capacitor the same week. Lightning is common, so surge protection on control boxes and VSDs is worth the small extra cost.
Water and ground in Secunda
Secunda was built around a huge petrochemical plant, and the plant still sets the tone for pump work in the area. Process, cooling water, effluent and chemical duty pumps are bought and serviced by contractors who work under strict site rules, while coal mines around the town add dewatering and slurry work. Evander and Kinross grew up on gold mining, and old shafts there are another source of mine water. Houses in Secunda, Trichardt and Embalenhle draw from the municipal network, and when it fails, tanks and boosters fill the gap. Farms around Bethal grow maize and soya on boreholes and dams. Highveld storms are violent here, and lightning damage to control gear is a regular repair.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Factories, plants and depots: temporary pumps hired during a plant shutdown or tank cleaning
- Farms: a trash pump hired to empty a silted dam or a flooded pump room
- Mines and quarries: extra dewatering pumps hired for a pit during heavy summer rain
