It is expected that the demand for water in the Durban metropolitan area will exceed supply from all current sources over the next ten years. The existing water supply network from the uMngeni River is insufficient to meet the projected growth in demand.
Phase 1 of the project (uMWP-1) will comprise the Smithfield Dam, a raw water tunnel to Baynesfield, the Langa buffer dam, and a water treatment plant and raw water pipeline in the Baynesfield area.
Our subsidiary will be responsible for designing and supervising the construction of a 21.3 kilometre-long, 2,800/2,600 millimetrediameter steel drinking water pipeline, as well as carrying out related works.
