Local context
Working in Crown Mines
We service Crown Industrial Park and the surrounding blocks of Crown Mines, Johannesburg, with access off the M1 and N1. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.
