Cabling conditions in Boksburg

Boksburg is an East Rand hub for warehousing, distribution and manufacturing, especially around Jet Park, Anderbolt and Witfield, where new and expanding facilities need main supply cables, sub-DB feeds, cable tray and lighting circuits. Supply here comes mainly through Ekurhuleni's network. Residential suburbs such as Sunward Park and Parkhaven have older homes due for rewiring, while new townhouse developments bring bulk cable orders from builders. Heavy clay soils common on the East Rand swell and shrink with the seasons, so underground cable depth and protection need care. Cable theft is a serious problem in industrial areas, and many businesses have invested in backup power.
