Septic tanks and drainage in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is a large city on the Highveld, and the central and western suburbs such as Brandwag and Langenhoven Park are on the sewer. Septic and conservancy systems are common on the smallholdings toward Bainsvlei and Dewetsdorp, on farms, in older sites on the city edge, and at Thaba Nchu and Botshabelo villages. Dry Free State soils are mixed clay and dolerite, with clay swelling in summer storms and cracking in winter, which disturbs pipes and tank lids. Winters are cold and dry. Honey sucker operators and tank suppliers work from the Hamilton and Bloemfontein industrial areas, and many serve farms across the central Free State.
Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:
- Houses: a concrete tank to replace or repair an old two-chamber tank at an off-sewer house
- Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
- Farms and game farms: rings and tanks for worker housing, built with local labour and materials
- Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
- Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
- Estates and complexes: a large built-in-place tank shared by cottages, with a lid rated for vehicles
- Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
