Pietermaritzburg notes on cold rooms & commercial
Refrigeration work in the Pietermaritzburg area centres on the dairy farms around Howick, Mooi River and Nottingham Road, where milk must be cooled quickly, and the poultry farms near Camperdown. In the city, hospitals and schools need dependable kitchen refrigeration, and butcheries along Church Street and in Northdale rely on display chillers and cold rooms. Contractors in Willowton and Mkondeni service factories and food distributors.
What keeps Pietermaritzburg cold
Pietermaritzburg sits in a bowl in the Midlands, so summers in the city can be hot and muggy while winter nights bring frost, especially in Hilton and Howick above it. It is the provincial capital, with hospitals, schools, government offices and the university, all of which need kitchen and clinic refrigeration. The surrounding dairy belt around Howick, Mooi River and Nottingham Road keeps milk cooling tanks and cold rooms busy, and poultry farms near Camperdown need chilling and freezing. Edendale and Imbali have many spaza shops and taverns, and Scottsville has student digs. Requests swing between regassing a kitchen fridge in town and keeping a farm cold room steady through milking season.
The requests we see from Pietermaritzburg usually come from:
- Farms, packhouses and dairies: insulated produce stores, packhouse rooms and abattoir chillers
- Households: a small insulated room in a garage for game meat or home catering stock
