Local context

Working in Springfield Park

We service Springfield Park Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Springfield Park, Durban, with access off the N2 and M19. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?

Every compressor burnout cleanup job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the HACCP documentation your auditors expect.
