Cabling conditions in Richards Bay

Richards Bay is an industrial port town built around heavy users of electricity. An aluminium smelter, a deep-water coal terminal, mineral sands operations and paper and chemical plants all need large medium-voltage and armoured cable, cable tray and glands rated for harsh, dusty and corrosive conditions. Salt air from the bay and warm, humid weather attack exposed terminations, while sandy coastal soils make trenching straightforward but require good bedding. Contractors and plant staff live in Meerensee, Arboretum and nearby Empangeni, where homes and complexes need rewiring, solar and backup systems. Sugar-cane farms inland use long feeds to irrigation pumps.
