Local context
Working in Cornubia
We service Cornubia Industrial and Business Estate and the surrounding blocks of Cornubia, Durban, with access off the N2 and M41. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.

FAQ
Evapco cooling tower maintenance in Cornubia
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a potato & onion storage site in Cornubia?
Cornubia sits on the N2 and M41, so our Durban dispatch reaches most Cornubia Industrial and Business Estate sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency cooling tower maintenance runs 24/7 because condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack.
Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?
Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on R717/R404A 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 cooling tower maintenance 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 GLOBALG.A.P. documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Potato & Onion Storage run at +4 °C to +10 °C at 85–95% RH, with cooling tower maintenance performed against +28 °C to +40 °C condenser water. Condensation on bins causes rot spread through the stack
