Infrastructure investment to the tune of R19 million pays off.
OVERSTRAND’S EXECUTIVE MAYOR, DR. ANNELIE RABIE, AND CLLR CLINTON LERM, PORTFOLIO COMMITTEE CHAIR: INVESTMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE, HAD A RATHER HECTIC START TO AUGUST: they had the pleasure of officiating at the official hand-over of not one but three major infrastructure projects in the spate of two days.
On the 2nd of August, they were there to officiate at the opening of the bus route that will service the Blompark housing project and to celebrate the completion of the bulk sewer upgrade in the Masakhane area that will allow for the development of 1 184 serviced stands and 295 low-cost housing units in the area.These upgrades/improvements were necessary to ensure that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate current and future housing developments.
With a total value of R 11.3 million, the bulk sewer upgrade involved the installation of a 970m section of 630mm diameter HDPE gravity sewer pipeline that discharges at the Gansbaai Wastewater Treatment Works and required excavations, micro-tunnelling, reinstating pipeline trenches and resurfacing road reserves. Two local subcontractors participated in this contract.
