What to know locally in Welkom
Welkom's workshops have long experience rewinding large mine motors and rebuilding pumps, and that skill carries over to farm and domestic repairs. Ask for a written repair quote before a rewind on a small pump. Solar quotes on farms should include anti-theft mounting, because panel and cable theft is a known problem in the goldfield. Pump hire for dewatering is available locally.
Who pumps what in Welkom
Welkom grew up on the Free State goldfields, and mine water is still the defining pumping issue. As shafts close, someone has to keep pumping or groundwater rises through the old workings, so high head shaft pumps and their motors are big business. Mine water pumped to the surface has filled pans around the town, and tailings retreatment needs slurry and return water pumps. Away from the mines, maize, sunflower and cattle farms around Hennenman and Odendaalsrus rely on boreholes, and windmills are steadily being replaced by solar pumps. Town houses in Riebeeckstad and Doorn add tanks and boosters when supply is interrupted. Ground is mostly Karoo shale and sandstone, with dolerite in places.
Who asks for water pump repairs around Welkom, most often first:
- Mines and quarries: surface transfer pump motors rewound after burning out
- Farms: a large irrigation pump motor rewound before the planting season
- Homeowners: a booster pump on a water tank that drips under the motor and keeps starting
