What to know locally in Welkom
Shaft dewatering on the goldfield uses large multistage pumps, often in stages up the shaft, and needs reliable power and protection. Tailings retreatment plants run slurry pumps with rubber lined or hard metal wet ends. In Thabong and the older suburbs, storm water floods low streets after summer storms, and drainage pumps are hired to clear yards and flooded pits.
Who pumps what in Welkom
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and mine water is still the defining pumping issue. As shafts close, someone has to keep pumping or groundwater rises through the old workings, so high head shaft pumps and their motors are big business. Mine water pumped to the surface has filled pans around the town, and tailings retreatment needs slurry and return water pumps. Away from the mines, maize, sunflower and cattle farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus rely on boreholes, and windmills are steadily being replaced by solar pumps. Town houses in Riebeeckstad and Doorn add tanks and boosters when supply is interrupted. Ground is mostly Karoo shale and sandstone, with dolerite in places.
Typical sewage pumps requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: change houses and offices at remote shafts pumped to a treatment works
- Farms: staff housing and ablutions far from the main line served by a single sewage pump
- Homeowners: a basement bathroom or granny flat below the street sewer pumped up to the connection
