Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Gqeberha: local notes
Coastal suburbs like Summerstrand and parts of the harbour area have sandy ground, and builders sometimes need dewatering for foundations and trenches. Industrial plants in Struandale and the Coega zone run sumps and effluent pumps. Heavy rain is less frequent here than in KZN, but when spring storms come, low lying parts of the northern areas flood. Estates on the edge of the city often run sewage pump stations.
Gqeberha: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Nelson Mandela Bay learnt about water the hard way. A long drought left the supply dams very low for several years, restrictions were tight, and thousands of homes and businesses drilled boreholes or installed tanks. That is still the base of most pump work here: borehole pumps for gardens in Walmer, Lorraine and Newton Park, booster pumps on tanks across the northern areas, and pressure sets for factories. Groundwater quality varies, and some holes give salty or iron rich water, so test before you drink it. Leaks and burst pipes add their own outages. The harbour, the motor industry in Struandale and Markman, and the Coega zone keep industrial and dewatering pumps busy, and the wind and salt air wear out surface equipment.
Typical slurry pumps requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: rarely needed at home, perhaps to clear silt from a large ornamental dam
- Factories, plants and depots: process slurries, mill scale pits and settling tanks in factories
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: car wash silt traps and sand traps at large sites emptied
