Local context
Working in Springfield Park
We service Springfield Park Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Springfield Park, 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.
