In the wake of the flooding and landslides that occurred in KwaZulu-Natal in April and May 2022, 448 individuals had been left useless and greater than 40 000 displaced, with harm to roads, schools, water infrastructure and companies.
On 18 April, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a national state of catastrophe. As repairs received underway, one of the first points many flooded companies confronted was to do away with the water and particles in their factories or warehouse premises. The Werner Pumps rental unit, a mix jetting and vacuum truck, was put to good use to help with the clean-up operations.
“We rented our unit to two firms for a number of weeks at a time to assist them in servicing their clients’ in Durban and the encircling areas after the horrific flooding,” says Sebastian Werner, Managing Director at Werner Pumps. “It’s หลักการทำงานของเกจ์วัดแก๊ส that the unit has been used for disaster restoration efforts after flooding. It was good to have the power to help indirectly by sending the mixture truck from our head workplaces in Springs all the way down to our KwaZulu-Natal purchasers to assist. It must have done a good job as a end result of one of the companies has now ordered one from us to assist with their ongoing pollution control and industrial clean-up operations.”
The rental unit is a combination truck that gives state-of-the-art hydraulically operated jetting and vacuum functionality. It’s available through Werner Water Recycling, the rental division (founded in 2013) of Werner Pumps, the leading manufacturer of high-pressure jetting equipment in South Africa.
Known as the Impi Unit, it provides a tilting 12.500 litre, 304 stainless steel tank, with a hydraulically-driven high-pressure pump capacity of 295L/Min at 135bar, and a vacuum pump with 1700 m3/hr suction functionality. The high-pressure pump is fitted with a pneumatically operated regulating valve, making infinite stress adjustment possible, thus growing the safety of the operator during use.
“It’s perfect for everything from sewer and stormwater cleaning and maintenance, to sludge and slurry elimination, separator cleaning, contaminated liquid restoration, recovering solids, and cleansing surfaces,” says Werner. “In the wake of a disaster, it can be used to scrub up standing water or to scrub smoke-damaged services. We’ve discovered there’s demand for the unit from municipalities and contractors to bridge a gap when they’re waiting on a unit, or for price range to turn into out there, and for individuals who want it for a particular time-bound application.”
Ultimately, Werner says, the corporate wish to construct up its rental fleet to service the growing demand. “When one thing happens and somebody urgently wants a truck, as was the case with the flooding, we want to have the ability to ship them one immediately,” he says. “Our purpose has always to be a one-stop shop, and to make sure our prospects are ready hold working at all times, so we’re discovering ways to help them try this.”
