Our Water Projects
De Grendel 25 Mℓ Reservoir and Related Pipework
Design and construction of a new 25 Mℓ reinforced concrete reservoir supplying the De Grendel water supply zone with 48 hours of storage capacity, built in two phases including 600mm dia Ductile Iron rising and gravity mains, and a road crossing via pipe jacking. The reservoir has an inside diameter of 65,0m and a depth of 8,15m.
Emergency Water Resilience Project: SWRO Desalination Plants — Strandfontein
Investigation and implementation of temporary Sea Water Reverse Osmosis desalination plants during the City's worst recorded drought. Three plants were awarded for construction, with Strandfontein (7 Mℓ/d) commissioned in May 2018 and operating successfully since.
Mokolo and Crocodile River (West) Augmentation Project (Phase 1)
Design and construction supervision, as part of a consortium, of Phase 1 of the MCWAP project: a pump station with a 1000mm ND suction pipeline, a 900mm ND rising main 4.6km long, and 800–1100mm ND gravity pipelines 37km long, delivering 1258 l/s to end users.
Assmang's Khumani Mine Water Resource Augmentation
Groundwater source development to augment Khumani Iron Ore Mine's existing supply from the Vaal Gamagara bulk water scheme, including option analysis, geophysical surveys, gravity traverses, cost analysis, detailed design and phased implementation.
