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 solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:
- Factories: factories preheat process and wash-down water with solar collectors
- Mines: mines fit solar geysers on hostels and site accommodation
- Homes: homeowners add solar geysers or retrofit kits to reduce electricity bills
- Construction: developers include solar water heating in new homes to meet energy requirements
- Offices: offices fit small solar systems for kitchens and staff showers
- Complexes: estates and complexes need body corporate approval for roof-mounted collectors
