Instandhoudingswerk word di\u00e9 week by die Drakenstein-krematorium in die Paarl voltooi nadat die Kaapse Wynland-distriksmunisipaliteit sy atmosferiese ondersoeke hier afgehandel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johann van der Merwe, eienaar van die krematorium, het die gerugte dat hy sy deure gaan sluit as onwaar bestempel. Hulle het egter nie enige verassings die afgelope paar weke gedoen nie as gevolg van die opknappings wat gedoen moes word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSover ek weet is daar geen dreigemente dat ons oor drie weke gaan toemaak nie. Dit is vals nuus. Die wanbegrip het dalk ontstaan omdat ons nie op die oomblik liggame inneem nie omdat ons besig is met instandhouding. Ons het eers die branders vervang, toe het ons toeters ingesit wat as die temperatuur onder 850 grade daal, \u2019n geluid sal maak,\u201d verduidelik Van der Merwe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaar was toe \u2019n versoek van KWDM dat ons \u2019n deurlopende temperatuurmeter moet insit en dit moes uit Amerika gekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns gooi ook vir die oond nou \u2019n nuwe vloer en ons het ook die deur van die oond herstel sodat dit yskoud is, want dit koel nie af nie omdat dit 24 uur per dag en sewe dae per week werk. Ons moes toe nou \u2019n wagperiode verkry sodat die mense aan die deure kan werk. So ja, ons is teoreties gesproke tydelik gesluit, maar nie toegemaak nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHierdie week is die derde week en ons hoop om di\u00e9 week klaar te wees met die instandhouding. Ons weet dit plaas al die yskaste onder druk, maar toe ons begin het met die opknappings, het ons besluit om sommer \u2019n ordentlike job<\/i> doen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die krematorium is die afgelope paar maande in die spervuur nadat gerugte ontstaan het dat die besigheid verantwoordelik is vir \u2019n stank wat oor die Paarl en Wellington gehang het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die klagtes van inwoners het onder die aandag van KWDM se luggehalte-beampte gekom, wat toe ondersoek ingestel het, het die woordvoerder van die distriksmunisipaliteit, Jo-Anne Otto, voorheen aan Paarl Post<\/span> ges\u00ea. Onlangs het KWDM bevind dat daar nie-na\u00adko\u00admings van die krematorium se atmos\u00adferiese-emissie-lisensievoor\u00adwaar\u00addes is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDaar is vasgestel dat daar \u2019n voorval die aand van Saterdag 7 Januarie omstreeks 22:00 was. Daar is toe ook bevind dat die verbinding aan \u2019n termokoppel, wat die handhawing van optimum temperatuur verseker, foutief was. Die foutiewe verbinding het veroorsaak dat die prim\u00eare verassingslokaal afskakel, wat tot die vrylating van oormatige rook gelei het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van der Merwe meen die krematorium is onskuldig wat die gerugte betref wat die ronde doen. Volgens hom het die fasiliteit gereelde inspeksies ondergaan toe hy beskuldig is van die stank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie eerste paar weke in Januarie het ons drie keer per week in die dag inspeksies gekry en twee keer in die nag. Ons het nie tydens een van die inspeksies stink reuke uitgesit nie. Ons het twee of drie keer wel rook uitgesit, maar dit was as gevolg van \u2019n wanfunksie en die ander voorval is waar een van die werkers \u2019n kis ingesit het voordat die oond nog op tempera\u00adtuur was. Dit was \u2019n menslike fout, maar andersins is ons nie skuldig nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hopelik nadat die instandhoudings\u00adwerk afgehandel is, sal die krematorium spoedig weer sy werksaamhede voortsit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otto voeg by: \u201cDie KWDM het die Drakenstein-krematorium versoek om normale verassingsbedrywighede te staak tot die fasiliteit kan bewys dat hy aan die lisensievoorwaardes voldoen.\u201d.<\/span> Maintenance work is being completed at the Drakenstein crematorium in Paarl this week after the Cape Winelands District Municipality completed their atmospheric investigations
