Rustenburg notes on drainage, sewage & dewatering
Slurry pumps are the core of mine work here: rubber lined or hard metal wet ends, agitators to lift settled solids, and impellers and liners swapped on a schedule. Underground and open pit dewatering needs high head submersible pumps. In Boitekong, Tlhabane and Phokeng, storm water and blocked sewers after summer rain bring calls for drainage and sewage pumps, and new estates often have their own pump stations.
Who pumps what in Rustenburg
Platinum mining around Rustenburg makes it one of the country's busiest markets for heavy pumps. Shafts and concentrators along the belt from Phokeng to Marikana need dewatering pumps underground, slurry pumps for tailings and process water, and a steady supply of wear parts. Town life brings a different list. Many suburbs, from Safari Gardens to Cashan, have had water interruptions, so houses add tanks, boosters and boreholes. Smallholdings at the foot of the Magaliesberg and around Kroondal pump for vegetables, citrus and livestock. The black clay soils that cover much of the area swell when wet and crack when dry, which matters for pipe trenches and pump plinths. Workshops and mine suppliers fill the light industrial areas on the edge of town.
The requests we see from Rustenburg usually come from:
- Mines and quarries: workshop pits and plant room sumps on surface kept free of water
- Contractors and drillers: sump pits and pumps supplied and fitted in new basement construction
- Factories, plants and depots: factory pits, wash bay sumps and machine pits pumped to the drain
