What to know locally in North West
Mining suppliers in Rustenburg, Mooinooi and Marikana rent oxygen, acetylene, argon and CO2 cylinders on monthly agreements. Farm workshops near Vryburg and Schweizer-Reneke weld and cut with the same gases, chained upright. Theft of cylinders from outbuildings is a concern in parts of the province, so lockable cages are common. Replace sun-cracked hoses, and test regulator joints with soapy water every season.
Gas in North West
In North West, LPG follows two very different economies. Along the platinum belt from Rustenburg to Brits, mining suppliers, engineering workshops and busy mining towns use gas for cooking, water heating and cutting and welding work. Further west, on the maize and cattle farms around Lichtenburg, Delareyville and Vryburg, gas heats farmhouses, runs poultry brooders and fires cooking in places a long drive from the nearest dealer. Hartbeespoort adds weekend houses, guest venues and restaurants that want patio heaters and braais. Gas arrives by road to dealers and refill stations in the main towns. Plan farm orders ahead, keep cylinders shaded in hot dry summers and ventilate rooms where heaters run on frosty winter nights.
Typical gas leak detection and repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a leak call out for a gas smell near the stove, geyser or heater
- Farms and smallholdings: leak tests on brooder lines and burners in poultry houses before a new batch
- Factories, warehouses and workshops: leak tracing on canteen and process gas lines, with detectors at low level
