Cabling conditions in Pinetown

Pinetown is one of eThekwini's main manufacturing hubs, with factories and distribution centres in New Germany, Westmead and Pinetown's industrial areas. Plants here buy armoured cable, tray, glands and three-phase feeders, and many have added solar on large roofs to reduce daytime costs. The steep, hilly terrain means long cable runs often follow slopes, and weathered clay and shale can collapse in trenches after heavy rain. Inland humidity is lower than at the coast but summer storms are intense, so lightning protection and surge arrestors are standard. Older homes in Kloof and Westville often need rewiring as part of renovations or sales.
