Local context
Working in Blackheath
We service Blackheath Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Blackheath, Cape Town, with access off the N1 and R300. Mediterranean summers with strong south-easters carry dust and salt onto condenser coils, and winter rain drives condensation risk at dock openings.

FAQ
Evapco pipework & lagging in Blackheath
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a mining & bulk air cooling site in Blackheath?
Blackheath sits on the N1 and R300, so our Cape Town dispatch reaches most Blackheath Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency pipework & lagging runs 24/7 because underground heat stress limits shift productivity.
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/R744 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 pipework & lagging 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 pipework & lagging performed against −45 °C to +120 °C line temperatures. Underground heat stress limits shift productivity
