Plumbing in Upington
Upington is an oasis on the banks of the Orange River, surrounded by the Kalahari and the Green Kalahari's vineyards. Table grapes, raisins and wine depend on irrigation, so farms need pumps, pipelines, worker housing ablutions and packhouse drainage. Summer temperatures are among the hottest in the country, which stresses geysers, outdoor pipework and plastic fittings left in the sun, while winter nights can drop below freezing. Water in the region is hard and can carry silt, so filters and scale protection extend geyser life. Lodges and guest houses serving travellers to the Kgalagadi and Augrabies add hospitality work.
Typical burst pipe repairs requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farms repair burst supply lines to houses, troughs and irrigation systems
- Homes: homeowners repair burst pipes in walls, roof spaces and under paving
- Hospitality: hotels repair burst pipes in ducts and ceilings with minimal disruption to guests
- Retail: stores repair burst pipes in ceilings and back-of-house areas to protect stock
- Factories: factories repair burst process and supply lines to limit downtime
- Schools: schools repair burst mains on the grounds and pipes in ageing ablution blocks
