Local context
Working in New Germany
We service New Germany Industrial and the surrounding blocks of New Germany, Pinetown, with access off the N3 and M13. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.
