Local context
Working in Diep River
We service Diep River Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Diep River, Cape Town, with access off the M3 and M5. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Alfa Laval condensing unit overhaul in Diep River
How fast can a technician service Alfa Laval equipment at a mining & bulk air cooling site in Diep River?
Diep River sits on the M3 and M5, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Diep River Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency condensing unit overhaul runs 24/7 because underground heat stress limits shift productivity.
Do you stock OEM components for Alfa Laval systems?
Yes — Alfa Laval plate packs, gaskets and cleaning-in-place chemistry. Alfa Laval (Sweden) equipment on R717/R744/R134a charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every condensing unit overhaul 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 MHSA documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Mining & Bulk Air Cooling run at +2 °C to +12 °C chilled water at 90–100% RH, with condensing unit overhaul performed against +35 °C to +50 °C condensing. Underground heat stress limits shift productivity
