Electrical

The Electrical Maintenance Section - situated in the main services building adjacent to the Transport Workshop and Transport Yard at the top of Artillery Road, near Jan Smuts Hall - employs artisans who are responsible for all electrical installations, faults and repairs on campus. This includes electrical faults in appliances, kitchen equipment and electric geysers and boilers supplying hot water and central heating, and the replacement of burnt-out or defective lamps and fluorescent tubes.
