Secunda notes on drones & gear
Contractors in Secunda and Trichardt are steady buyers of enterprise drones with zoom and thermal cameras, used to inspect pipe racks, tanks and flare stacks on sites where they hold permission. Mines around Evander and Kinross choose survey drones for stockpiles and tailings. Grain farmers near Bethal and Leandra ask about mapping and spray drones. Families in Secunda buy small camera drones but soon learn where they may not fly.
Secunda from the air
Secunda grew up around one of the largest fuel-from-coal plants in the world, and that plant still shapes everything, including where drones may go. It is a high-security site, so flying near it without permission is out of the question. Most drone work in the area comes from the collieries around Secunda, Evander and Kinross, contractors serving the plant, and grain farmers on the open land toward Bethal and Leandra. Gold mining history around Evander adds tailings dams that need inspection. Highveld winters are dry, with smog and haze hanging over the industrial area, while summer afternoons bring thunderstorms, lightning and hail. Secunda also has its own airfield, which adds another check.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Mines, plants and utilities: a compact drone for quick visual checks where a large drone is not needed
- Builders, engineers and installers: a light drone for quick weekly progress photos on smaller building sites
- Farmers and growers: a light drone kept in the bakkie for quick looks at fences, dams and stock

One local point to raise: keep clear of the fuel plant, a high-security site; Secunda airfield is nearby.
