Local context
Working in Riverhorse Valley
We service Riverhorse Valley Business Estate and the surrounding blocks of Riverhorse Valley, Durban, with access off the N2 and M19. Sub-tropical coastal humidity keeps wet-bulb temperatures high year-round, which raises evaporative condenser duty and accelerates coil corrosion.
