Local context
Working in Driehoek
We service Driehoek Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Driehoek, Germiston, with access off the N3 and N17. 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.
