Izintambo zezintambo zicutshungulwa ngentambo njengempahla eluhlaza, ikakhulukazi esetshenziselwa ukuphakamisa, ukudonsa, ukuqinisa kanye nokuqinisa izintambo zezintambo kubizwa ngokuthi intambo. Intambo yensimbi ekhanyayo enamandla amakhulu, isisindo, ibushelelezi, kulula ukuqedela ngokuzumayo kanye nezici eziphukile, ezisetshenziswa kakhulu ezimbonini zensimbi, zamakhemikhali, ezokuthutha kanye nezikhumulo. Ukusetshenziswa kwezinhlobo zezintambo zocingo intambo yensimbi ehlanganiswe ne-phosphate, intambo yensimbi ewuthayela, intambo yensimbi engenasici kanye nentambo yocingo ebushelelezi.

Ezindaweni zokusebenza, njengentambo yensimbi ebilisiwe emanzi noma imvelo yangaphandle esebenzisa intambo yocingo ingasetshenziswa njengempahla eluhlaza ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kokugqwala.

Ukuguga kwensimbi yesihlilingi yezintambo kudalwe kakhulu ukudlula ihuku kanye nokugobeka okuphindaphindiwe kwe-crane okubangelwa ukukhathala kwensimbi ephuka kancane kancane, ngaphandle kokuthi ihuku noma ukuma kancane ngesilinganiso sentambo yobubanzi bezintambo kuyisici esibalulekile ukunquma impilo yentambo yentambo yocingo.

Intambo yezintambo nokugqwala kwesendlalelo esingaphezulu noma ngaphakathi kwesikulufa ngasinye inombolo yocingo ephukile idlula inani elishiwo kufanele kuqedwe.

Intambo yocingo isetshenziselwa ngokuyinhloko ukuphakamisa, ukudonsa kanye neminye imigqa yamandla aphezulu edinga ukuthuthwa, futhi inqatshelwe ukusebenzisa inqubo yokuphakamisa noma ngaphansi kwento.
