Drainage, sewage & dewatering in Mpumalanga: local notes
Coal mines between eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda pump water out of opencast pits and underground workings all year, which keeps heavy <a href="/dewatering-pumps/">dewatering pumps</a> and slurry pumps busy. Plants and washeries run sumps full of fines that wear wet ends fast. In the Lowveld, lodges and estates use sewage pump stations, and summer downpours flood low lying yards and roads around Mbombela.
Mpumalanga: the properties, the water and the pump shops
Two very different pumping markets share this province. On the Highveld around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda, coal mines and big plants need dewatering pumps, slurry pumps and three phase sets that run day and night, and mine water management is a constant job. Drop down the escarpment and the Lowveld is all irrigation: citrus, macadamias, bananas and vegetables along the Crocodile and Sabie rivers, fed from rivers, dams and boreholes. Granite sits close to the surface around Mbombela and White River, so boreholes are drilled into fractured hard rock. Lodges and estates near the Kruger gates rely on boreholes and small sewage pump stations, and summer storms hit both halves hard.
Who asks for sump pumps around Mpumalanga, most often first:
- Farms: pack house drains and cold room pits emptied by a float operated pump
- Factories, plants and depots: factory pits, wash bay sumps and machine pits pumped to the drain
- Smallholdings and plots: a cellar or pump room on low ground drained by a small automatic pump
