Cabling conditions in Kuils River

New housing keeps cable suppliers busy in Kuils River. Developers building estates and townhouse complexes buy surfix, house wire and conduit by the drum, while owners of older homes rewire when they add a flat or an enclosed braai room. The Blackheath and Brackenfell industrial areas need three-phase feeds, cable tray and armoured cable for workshops and distribution warehouses. Much of the ground is Cape Flats sand, which is easy to trench but needs proper bedding and warning tape, and some low-lying parts stay waterlogged in winter. Theft of copper from substations, rail lines and building sites is a real concern here.
