Local context
Working in Mkondeni
We service Mkondeni Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Mkondeni, Pietermaritzburg, with access off the N3 and R56. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.
