Cabling conditions in Mossel Bay

Mossel Bay pairs a busy holiday coastline with heavy industry. The gas-to-liquids refinery and the harbour use armoured, flame-retardant and instrumentation cable that must stand up to hydrocarbons and marine air. Along the beachfront at Hartenbos, Dana Bay and Diaz Beach, salt spray corrodes outdoor lights, pool pumps and gate motors, so cable glands and connectors need to be marine-grade. Retirement estates and holiday complexes are common, and many owners are adding solar to cut municipal bills. Sandy coastal ground is easy to trench but shifts, so cable should be laid at the correct depth with proper bedding.
