eMalahleni notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Pit dewatering is the big job. Collieries run large submersible dewatering pumps in sumps, often three phase and on long cables, with slurry pumps where coal fines and mud settle. Acid mine water attacks plain cast iron, so ask about stainless or lined wet ends. In town, summer storms back up storm water drains in KwaGuqa and the older suburbs, and basements under shops on the main roads need sump pumps with a float and an alarm.
eMalahleni: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Coal shapes almost every pumping job around eMalahleni. Opencast pits and underground workings toward Ogies and Kriel collect rain and groundwater that has to be pumped out day and night, and much of that water is acidic, so mines ask for pumps with wet ends that can handle it. In town the story is different: many suburbs have had water cuts and low pressure, which is why so many houses in Del Judor, Reyno Ridge and Clewer now have a plastic tank and a booster pump. Boreholes are drilled here too, but water quality near old workings can be poor, so test before you drink it. Pump shops, rewinders and mine suppliers cluster in Ferrobank and along the N4 service roads.
Typical sewage pump stations requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: mine villages and shaft change houses served by stations to a treatment works
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a station at the low corner of the estate lifting all waste to the municipal sewer
- Factories, plants and depots: factory ablutions and canteens pumped to the sewer from a package station
