Cabling conditions in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, an area known for frequent summer lightning. Strikes regularly damage appliances, gate motors and inverters, so surge protection, good earth electrodes and correctly bonded metalwork are common requests. As the provincial capital, the city has many government offices and schools, and Victorian brick buildings in the centre often carry outdated wiring. Msunduzi Municipality supplies most of the city, while the dairy and timber farms around Howick and Camperdown rely on Eskom rural lines and long feeds to milking sheds and pumps. An aluminium rolling mill and other factories need heavy industrial cabling.

Typical welding cable requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: hobby welders buy short 16mm or 25mm leads for small home workshop machines
Municipal and public works: municipal workshops weld water pipes, fencing and vehicle parts with long flexible leads
Offices: office maintenance teams call in welding contractors for gates, burglar bars and steel stairs
Farms and smallholdings: farms keep welding leads in the workshop for repairing implements, gates and kraals
Factories and workshops: fabrication factories use 50mm and 70mm welding cable on heavy machines and long leads
