Who needs fencing in Mpumalanga
Mpumalanga fencing demand splits between the industrial Highveld and the Lowveld. Collieries, power stations and steel plants around eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda specify palisade and clear view with razor wire to protect equipment and cable. In the Lowveld, game reserves bordering the Kruger area build game and electric fencing, and citrus and macadamia farms fence orchards and packhouses. Homes and estates in Mbombela and White River buy palisade and electric fencing. Highveld lightning and Lowveld termites both influence material choice.
Typical electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Mining: mines protect plant areas, stores and cable routes
- Utilities: utilities protect substations, cell towers and water works
- Game reserves: reserves use electrified game fences to keep animals in and poachers out
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Industrial: factories add monitored electric fences to perimeter fences and walls
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
