Local context
Working in Richards Bay Industrial
We service Richards Bay IDZ, Alton Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Richards Bay Industrial, Richards Bay, with access off the N2 and R34. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.
