Cabling conditions in Rustenburg

Rustenburg is the centre of the world's largest platinum mining region. Mines, concentrators and smelters use large amounts of trailing, armoured and medium-voltage cable, and contractors provide ongoing maintenance and fault finding. Black turf clay common in the area swells when wet and cracks in dry winters, which can damage shallow cable and joints. Rocky ground near the Magaliesberg makes trenching difficult. New estates and complexes for mine staff need full wiring, while Rustenburg Local Municipality and Eskom supply different areas. Summer thunderstorms and cable theft add to the need for surge protection and secure routing.
