Cabling conditions in Nelspruit

Mbombela sits in the Lowveld, where hot, humid summers and violent thunderstorms are routine. Lightning damage to electronics, gate motors and inverters is common, so surge protection and solid earthing are a priority. Granite koppies and rocky ground in many suburbs make trenching difficult, and contractors often allow for rock breaking or surface routing. Citrus, macadamia and banana farms need long feeds to irrigation pumps and packhouses.
