What to know locally in Randfontein
Mining here means water underground. Operating and closed mines run <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a> in shafts and pits, and slurry pumps move tailings and settled solids in plants and ponds. Mine suppliers usually need three phase units with hard wearing wet ends. In town, low lying parts of Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus flood in heavy rain, and drainage pumps help clear yards and houses.
Who pumps what in Randfontein
Randfontein and Westonaria are old gold mining towns, and the Far West Rand sits on large dolomite compartments that held so much water the mines had to pump enormous volumes to keep working. That history explains the sinkholes some areas have seen and why drilling on dolomite here should be done with care. Mining still drives demand for dewatering, slurry and sump pumps, and a cluster of pump and motor workshops services them. In town, Greenhills and Randgate homes use tanks and boosters through water cuts, and the plots on the edges run borehole pumps for houses, chickens and vegetables. Workshops sit in Randfontein's industrial area and along the road to Westonaria.
Who asks for slurry pumps around Randfontein, most often first:
- Mines and quarries: tailings, thickener underflow, pit sumps and settling ponds on mines and quarries
- Homeowners: rarely needed at home, perhaps to clear silt from a large ornamental dam
- Smallholdings and plots: a silted farm dam or a sand trap cleared with a hired slurry pump
