Randfontein notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
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.
Typical sump pumps requests in the area come from:
- Mines and quarries: workshop pits and plant room sumps on surface kept free of water
- Factories, plants and depots: factory pits, wash bay sumps and machine pits pumped to the drain
- Farms: pack house drains and cold room pits emptied by a float operated pump
