Cabling conditions in Richards Bay

Richards Bay is an industrial port town built around heavy users of electricity. An aluminium smelter, a deep-water coal terminal, mineral sands operations and paper and chemical plants all need large medium-voltage and armoured cable, cable tray and glands rated for harsh, dusty and corrosive conditions. Salt air from the bay and warm, humid weather attack exposed terminations, while sandy coastal soils make trenching straightforward but require good bedding. Contractors and plant staff live in Meerensee, Arboretum and nearby Empangeni, where homes and complexes need rewiring, solar and backup systems. Sugar-cane farms inland use long feeds to irrigation pumps.

Factories and workshops: fabrication factories use 50mm and 70mm welding cable on heavy machines and long leads

Coastal properties: boatyards and harbour workshops choose rubber-sheathed leads that cope with damp salt air
Homeowners: hobby welders buy short 16mm or 25mm leads for small home workshop machines
Farms and smallholdings: farms keep welding leads in the workshop for repairing implements, gates and kraals
