The details make the quote: how much water, what is in it, how far it must be lifted and how soon it must be gone. Send one request with them and we pass it to slurry pump suppliers and mining pump specialists working in Klerksdorp and nearby areas of North West.

Klerksdorp notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Mine dewatering in the goldfield is serious work: high head multistage pumps underground and slurry pumps on tailings and settling ponds. Contractors reclaiming old tailings need slurry pumps and wear parts. In Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana, summer storms overwhelm storm water channels and bring calls for drainage pumps, and pool owners in the suburbs keep pool pump repairers busy from October onward.
Klerksdorp: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Gold built Klerksdorp, Stilfontein and Orkney, and the mines left behind a big pumping problem. Underground workings fill with water once pumping stops, so shafts in the goldfield still need large high head pumps to keep water from rising into neighbouring mines, and tailings dams need slurry and return water pumps. The town also serves a wide grain district: maize and sunflower farms toward Hartbeesfontein and Ottosdal pump from boreholes for houses and livestock, and solar pumps are replacing windmills. Houses in Flamwood and the older suburbs add boreholes and tanks where supply is unreliable. The Vaal River to the south feeds irrigation farms. Water near mining ground can carry sulphate or metals, so test it before use.
The requests we see from Klerksdorp usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: tailings, thickener underflow, pit sumps and settling ponds on mines and quarries
- Farms: silted dams, dairy effluent and manure slurry moved to settling ponds
- Homeowners: rarely needed at home, perhaps to clear silt from a large ornamental dam
Local tips for Klerksdorp
Common here: mine shaft and tailings pumps, farm boreholes going solar, garden boreholes. Ask each supplier about this: ask whether the water should be tested for sulphate before you drink it. Where they work from: mine suppliers and pump workshops in Klerksdorp's industrial areas.
Sizes vary: heavy three phase pumps, many sizes. Here, mines and quarries lead the requests, typically for tailings, thickener underflow, pit sumps and settling ponds on mines and quarries. One local point to raise: technicians cover the KOSH towns and farms; Potchefstroom is about 50 km away.
