A brief overview of some of the projects that we have completed:

CONSTRUCTION, REHABILITATION AND MAINTENANCE

BULK WATER SYSTEMS

1. The installation and repairs of bulk pipelines ranging from 1000mm steel pipelines to 300mm GRP pipelines in areas of KZN.
2. The construction of associated structures, anchor blocks, chambers etc, pertaining to the particular systems.
3. The installation of valves, Isolation, air release control valve, pipe specials, metering devices etc.
4. The replacement of damaged and corroded sections of pipe.
5. Internal repairs to high pressure concrete pipes, Soccoman, Boncrete.
6. The installation and commissioning of various types of pump and motor set, from the mono series to the high lift multi stage units.
7. Repairs, maintenance and upgrading of pumping systems.
8. Repairs to bulk storage facilities, concrete repairs, water proofing, temporary underwater repairs as required.

RETICULATION SYSTEMS

1. The installation and repairs of various types of reticulation pipelines, ranging from HDPE, PVC, Polycop etc.
2. The construction of chambers, break pressure tanks and storage facilities.
3. The installation of valves, Isolation, air release control valve, pipe specials, metering devices etc
4. Upgrading and electrification of pump stations.
5. Installation of borehole pumps and associated equipment.

TREATMENT FACILITIES

1. The installation and commissioning of rotating equipment, associated vessels and pipework.
2. Repairs and maintenance to filtering systems, clarifiers and dosing facilities.
3. Installation of actuated valves and penstocks.
4. The installation rural purification systems. ie. In line dosing equipment, constant head feeders and reverse osmosis systems.

CONSTRUCTION OF CIVIL STRUCTURES

1. Construction of concrete slabs, plinths, sumps and trenches for installation of
   pumps, filters, valves and piping.
2. Construction of chambers, brick and concrete for housing valves, meters and similar.
3. Construction of reservoirs and tanks.
   

UNACCOUNTED FOR WATER AND STATUS QUO REPORTING

1. We completed several projects on various reticulation schemes, for various District and Local Municipalities, in KZN, with respect to repairs and replacements to piping, valves, pumps, metering equipment etc. Modifications to schemes were performed to improve the supply of water to areas. During the entirety of these projects UFW issues were being addressed and water balancing done until the schemes had acceptable losses.
2. Similar type of work has also been conducted outside of the borders of South Africa
   E.g. the assessment of water flows in Beira, Nampula and Pemba in Mozambique.
   Installation of temporary metering devices, pump trials and recording and logging of
   flows at all sites. I also did the production flow analyses including:
   The comparison of measured production flows with estimates produced by the Private Operator (PO); Assessment of methodology used by the PO; Recommendations for procedures to be used by the PO & Status reports on existing flow meters.
3. The upgrade and rehabilitation of the water supply system for the town of Port
   Harcourt, Nigeria, for the River State Government. The job included zoning and mapping of the town's water supply systems. The testing of the systems to determine maximum capabilities, identifying problem areas and providing solutions. It included leak detection, flow and pressure logging, the recording and analysis thereof. Investigation and recording of all information on all schemes and delivering it for updating of GIS.
4. The above type of work includes the:
   • Reviewing the scheme layout and zoning of areas.
   • Installation of data loggers at strategic places on pipelines recording flows and pressures, analysing data and trending.
   • Inspection of meters checking accuracy, correct sizing and general operation thereof.
   • Installation of portable meters to check on accuracy of permanent meters or to verify flows where necessary.
   • Identify and repair leaks, blocked pipes, air entrapment, burnt and undersized pipes.
   • Check integrity of control devices and replace or repair. E.g. Float level control valves, pump control valves, flow and pressure devices.
   • Identify and report on faulty storage infrastructure. E.g. reservoirs, BPT's etc.
   • Provided a detailed report of findings and repairs with recommendations.
