Randburg notes on cylinders, safety & special gases
Small factories and workshops in Strijdom Park and Kya Sand run LPG forklifts and rent argon, CO2 and oxygen cylinders for fabrication. Complexes in Sundowner and Bromhof ask for small lockable cages for 9 kg and 19 kg cylinders, as body corporates want them off balconies. Houses in Ferndale and Robindale call out a gas practitioner when an older hose or regulator starts to leak or a burner burns yellow.
Gas in Randburg
Randburg mixes older freestanding houses in Linden, Blairgowrie and Ferndale with sectional title complexes in Bromhof, Sundowner and Olivedale, and gas use follows that split. Houses often run a freestanding gas stove or a hob from a 19 kg or 48 kg cylinder outside the kitchen, while complex owners deal with body corporate rules on cylinders on patios. Cafés and bistros on 4th Avenue in Linden and around the Randburg Waterfront use patio heaters and gas cooking. Dealers, refill stations and delivery services work from Strijdom Park and Ferndale, supplied by road. Northcliff Ridge catches cold winds in winter, so ventilate rooms when heaters run.
The requests we see from Randburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a second empty 9 kg so one is full while the other goes for refilling
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a 9 kg cylinder of their own for a flat or townhouse braai and heater
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: spare owned cylinders so a food truck or takeaway is never caught empty
