Septic tanks and drainage in Randfontein

Randfontein has an old mining history and a mix of sewered town areas and unsewered ones. Many holdings around Randgate, Greenhills and the farms toward Westonaria use septic tanks, while some industrial users rely on bulk tanker collection. Old mine ground and shallow rock make soakaways hard to dig, and some plots sit near dolomite, so leaks are best dealt with fast. Informal settlements in the wider municipality often use communal toilets serviced by tankers. Honey sucker operators work from the Randfontein industrial area and Aureus, with Krugersdorp crews close, and most jobs are done within two days. Ask for a written quote before the truck arrives.

Typical septic tank design requests in the area come from:

• Smallholdings and plots: a larger tank and field layout for a smallholding with several buildings
• Houses: sizing a tank by bedrooms for a new house or an extension that adds bathrooms
• Farms and game farms: separate designs for the farmhouse and worker housing with different loads
• Factories, mines, sites and events: temporary or permanent tank layouts for site offices, camps and workshops
• Schools, churches and clinics: large multi-chamber tanks for schools and clinics, with signed drawings
• Restaurants, shops and offices: layouts for kitchens and staff toilets that add fat and a heavier load
• Estates and complexes: a design for shared tanks or one tank per unit, to meet the estate rules
