Plumbing in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a heavy-industry and port town, home to a deep-water harbour, a coal export terminal, aluminium smelting and mineral sands mining. These operations, and the many contractors that service them, create demand for industrial plumbing, pipe fabrication, pump maintenance and compliant ablution blocks. Residential suburbs such as Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood were largely built from the 1970s onwards and now need geyser, pipe and drain upgrades. The humid subtropical climate and salt-laden air corrode metal fittings quickly, and sandy coastal soils can shift underground pipes. uMhlathuze municipal supply interruptions have also made backup tanks more common.
Typical leak detection requests in the area come from:
- Factories: factories find leaks in process water lines and fire mains under yards
- Mines: mines locate leaks on extensive surface water reticulation networks
- Homes: homeowners find hidden leaks behind high water bills, damp walls and wet gardens
- Construction: builders pressure test new plumbing and find leaks before tiling and handover
- Offices: office parks track down water losses in underground mains and ceiling voids
- Complexes: body corporates trace leaks on shared supply lines and between units
