Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Centurion: local notes
Large estates in Midstream, Irene and Thatchfield sit on rolling ground, and several rely on sewage pump stations to lift sewage to the outfall. A station that fails on dolomite is a double problem, because leaking sewage softens the ground, so duty and standby pumps, alarms and backup power matter. Office parks in Highveld have basement sumps, and the low ground near the Hennops needs drainage pumps after storms.
Water and ground in Centurion
Dolomite shapes every water decision in Centurion. Sinkholes have opened in Lyttelton, Eldoraigne, Valhalla and along the N1 over the years, and drilling a borehole or letting water leak into the ground on dolomite can make things worse, so Tshwane controls boreholes in these areas and may ask for a geotechnical report. Where drilling is allowed, the dolomite can hold a lot of water. Many households in Rooihuiskraal, Wierda Park and Midstream rely instead on water tanks and boosters through cuts. The Hennops River floods the low ground around the Centurion lake in heavy storms, and smallholdings at Mnandi, Erasmia and Olievenhoutbosch run on borehole water.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Homeowners: a cellar, garage or basement room below the street kept dry in summer storms
- Offices, shops, hotels and lodges: office basements, lift pits and hotel plant rooms with alarmed sump pumps
- Municipalities, schools and clinics: underpasses, pump rooms and public building basements with automatic sumps
