Concrete Septic Tanks in Gauteng

Septic tanks and drainage in Gauteng

Most of Gauteng sits on the municipal sewer, but a large belt does not. Smallholdings around Muldersdrift, Hartbeespoort's eastern edge, Benoni and the Vaal side run septic tanks with soakaways, and older estates and complexes in Midrand, Centurion and Fourways rely on conservancy tanks that need scheduled pump-outs. Dolomite in parts of Pretoria and the West Rand, and heavy clay elsewhere, mean soakaways can fail early or flood in summer storms, so many owners switch to french drains or small treatment plants. East Rand factories add bulk waste. Honey sucker operators, tank suppliers and drainage contractors work from Lanseria, Germiston, Springs and Pretoria's industrial areas.

Typical concrete septic tanks requests in the area come from:

• Smallholdings and plots: stacked rings for a smallholding where a crane truck can reach the site
• Houses: a concrete tank to replace or repair an old two-chamber tank at an off-sewer house
• Estates and complexes: a large built-in-place tank shared by cottages, with a lid rated for vehicles
• Restaurants, shops and offices: a heavy tank behind a shop or garage, often under a parking area
• Factories, mines, sites and events: heavy-duty tanks for depots and works where trucks pass over the lids
• Schools, churches and clinics: large tanks for schools and churches, repaired during school holidays
• Lodges, guesthouses and venues: big concrete tanks for chalets, set away from guest areas with good ventilation

Local tips for Gauteng

Most work in Gauteng is done by teams based in operators based around Lanseria, Germiston, Springs and Pretoria industrial areas, and the usual setup is septic tanks and soakaways on plots, conservancy tanks in estates and complexes.

What to include in your request

• Tank size in litres, or the number of people using it
• Rings, a factory-made tank or a built-in-place tank
• Access for a crane truck, and the distance to the hole
• Whether the old tank is cracked, leaking or being replaced
• Any vehicle traffic over the tank or lid position
