Using Industrial Borehole Pumps
In a country as water poor as South Africa the importance of industrial borehole pumps cannot be overstated. In areas removed from municipal water pipelines these boreholes can mean the literal difference between life and death. Industrial borehole pumps are used by the agricultural industry to provide water from ground sources for the irrigation of crops, as well as drinking water for both cattle and human beings.
Industrial borehole pumps are extremely robust units, manufactured to the highest specifications and able to provide pumping services day after day with very little maintenance. This makes the industrial borehole pumps ideal for use in areas that present challenges for service personnel, such as remote parts of the Karoo in South Africa. These areas also are those that require the installation of industrial borehole pumps due to extensive farming and the lack of normal water supplies.
Industrial borehole pumps are manufactured using a hermetically sealed casing which allows the pump to operate even when fully submerged in the liquid being pumped. These borehole pumps are extremely tough, meaning that they can also be used for water extraction in applications relating to the mining industry. As the mines in South Africa continue to become deeper the services of industrial borehole pumps is required due to the continual flooding and water seepage that is a threat to the safety of the miners.
Industrial borehole pumps can also be used on construction sites in order to provide water for the day to day operations of the construction workers on the site. These boreholes provide water that can be treated until fit for human consumption and is also used for cleaning purposes, as well as being used for cooling purposes in various pieces of machinery.
The use of industrial borehole pumps on construction sites is usually the result of the isolation of the site from municipal water supplies, as well as the unavailability of water tankers for the supply of water for human consumption. One of the biggest industrial borehole pumping operations is now being rolled out in the United States of America during the building of the first private spaceport deep in the Mojave Desert.

Tough And Effective Submersible Dewatering Pumps
The South African mining and construction industries are amongst the most advanced in the world. Tough operating conditions have ensured that the engineers that are based in South Africa have had to apply their minds to the problems associated with the various projects that they are working on. Amongst other products that are widely used in South Africa are the many types of submersible dewatering pumps that find extensive use in applications that range from coal and gold mining to massive infrastructural projects like the construction of stadia and the revitalisation of the country’s highway system.
The submersible dewatering pumps are especially useful within the mining industry. As gold mines in South Africa grow ever deeper the requirements for equipment such as submersible dewatering pumps that can operate in the most hostile conditions will continue to grow. The deeper the mines become, the more water leaks into the shafts that requires removal to prevent incidents that can threaten the safety of the miners.
The submersible dewatering pumps are extremely useful due to the fact that they can operate at peak efficiency when completely submerged in the liquid that they are pumping, in this case water. The casing of these pumps is hermetically sealed preventing water from entering the operating mechanism. The control mechanisms for the pump are often found at the top of the shaft within which the pumping mechanism is located. This controller controls flow rates and together with a generator and transformer make up the surface components of the submersible dewatering pumps’ operational parts.
Submersible dewatering pumps are only one type of submersible pump that is used in South Africa. There are also submersible pumps that are used to provide the lifting power for the transport of water from boreholes and even the humble fish tank pump is a form of submersible pump that provides an easy to access example of just how versatile this type of pumping solution can be.

Increase Water Availability With A Stainless Steel Borehole Pump
As the legislation governing the use of water from riverine sources becomes more complex and forces agricultural users to adhere to more stringent controls over their use of water sourced from rivers the use of stainless steel boreholes pumps has increased. A stainless steel borehole pump is engineered to the most exacting manufacturing tolerances and can provide water from ground sources without the need for constant service. The toughness and reliability of stainless steel borehole pumps has led to their widespread use in areas where water is either scarce or where water restrictions are in place. Agricultural concerns in Australia, South America, North America, Europe and South Africa all make use of stainless steel borehole pump technology.
The stainless steel borehole pump is used extensively due to the fact that its hermetically sealed casing allows the pump mechanism to be totally submerged in the liquid being pumped and the stainless steel construction is resistant to corrosion, as well as exhibiting superior toughness even in the most demanding of roles. The high output of the stainless steel borehole pump also makes it a favourite with agricultural users.
A stainless steel borehole pump is sited at the bottom of a well and the water is pumped from this location. The pumping mechanism is contained within the hermetically sealed casing with the controls governing the rate of pumping situated at the well head. The two components are connected through a series of cables.
The usefulness of a stainless steel borehole pump is not limited to agricultural uses. Many home owners in South Africa are today making use of the technology to supply water for irrigation purposes and swimming pool filling in their homes. The water obtained from the stainless steel borehole may not always be fit for human consumption due to large amounts of dissolved minerals that are present, but can be used for domestic purposes as mentioned as well as cleaning and general maintenance.

Cost-Effective TLB Hire
The tractor loader backhoe or TLB is widely recognised as one of the most versatile pieces of equipment today used in the construction industry. These tractor units can be configured in a number of ways to provide support during construction and other projects where earthmoving and load carrying capacity is required. Although the TLB can be an expensive piece of equipment its use is still tremendously popular and because of this many companies choose TLB hire as a viable alternative to the outright ownership of the units.
TLB hire can allow the company using the tractor loader backhoe access to the increased productivity made possible through the use of the unit without having to go to the upfront expense of outright ownership. Owning the TLB can sometimes not represent a logical expenditure of capital, especially in these times of budgetary constraint. Taking the decision to hire a TLB means that the company can use the unit during those phases of the project when the unit is actually required and avoid the pitfall of having it stand ideal when it is not required.
TLB hire allows the company access the service personnel who will ensure that the unit remains operational and the dealer networks that can even make replacement units available at very short notice. This can positively affect the ability of the enterprise to meet tight project deadlines. The service network will also ensure that only genuine, manufacturer approved parts and consumables are used to service the TLB’s, keeping them in running condition for longer than might be the case when other, non approved spare parts are used.
TLB hire also makes insurance the reasonability of the company that is providing the units and this insurance cover is usually provided as part of a full maintenance contract. TLB hire can also reduce company overheads by removing the necessity for the employment of specialist maintenance personnel.

A Great Return On Investment Through TLB Rentals
The TLB, or truck loader backhoe is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment that is today in use in the construction and agricultural sectors of the South African economy. The versatility of the TLB is due in part to the ability of the truck to make use of various different types of attachments that make it suitable for a variety of different tasks. Many companies and organisations that make use of TLB’s choose TLB rentalsrather than outright ownership of the truck loader backhoe. TLB rentals are the preferred method of engaging the services of the TLB for a number of reasons.
By engaging in TLB rentals the company is freed from the added cost of insurance and maintenance of the equipment. These costs usually make up part of any full maintenance leasing agreement between the company leasing the equipment and the company making use of the TLB’s. In addition to the monetary savings that can be realised through medium and long term rentals the users of the TLB will also have the peace of mind of knowing that the personnel that will be servicing the equipment have been trained to international standards and that the parts and consumables used to keep the machinery in running condition are all genuine.
TLB rental make sense to those construction companies that are using the equipment in confined spaces such as those found on building and construction sites that are situated in urban areas. The small size and short wheelbase of the TLB gives it an extremely tight turning circle which enables it to operate with ease in these environments.
When a variety of light industrial tasks are required, such as earthmoving, the preparation of road surfaces or rubble removal are required then the TLB comes into its own. The variety of different attachments that can be fitted to replace the backhoe includes augers and stump removal attachments that can be fitted quickly and easily.TLB rentals also make sense to those organisations that will only require the services of the TLB for a short time or during specific periods of the project that is being undertaken.
