What to know locally in Randfontein
Licensed operators fly volume and stockpile surveys on tailings dams between Randfontein and Westonaria, and environmental teams use repeat aerial photos to track dust, erosion and rehabilitation. Farms on the western edge of the municipality ask about crop health mapping, and a few about spraying. Ask any mine service provider for the RPL, ROC and proof of insurance, and whether they can deliver data in the format your surveyor or engineer already uses.
Randfontein from the air
Randfontein grew around gold, and its drone work still looks at the ground. Tailings dams, old shafts and rehabilitated mine land around the town and toward Westonaria are surveyed and photographed for monitoring, reprocessing and closure plans. To the west, farms and smallholdings ask about crop health mapping and spraying. In town the market is more modest: first drones for families in Greenhills, roof checks on homes and the odd school or church event. The open veld brings stronger winds than the suburbs further east, and summer storms with lightning roll across quickly. Dust off the dumps can be heavy on dry winter days, which hurts both visibility and motors.
