Bosch Projects expands its
Cape Town office
The offices of Bosch Projects in Cape Town have recently
relocated to new premises at the Tygervalley Chambers
building complex in the northern suburbs.
This is due to the strong growth and expansion over the past
years, with the consequence that additional office space is
needed to house the growing number of staff.
The regional team in the past year has driven growth on the
55-year track record of Bosch Holdings, in industrial and building
sectors. The result of this is that the regional team has secured
a diversity of new projects, in addition to existing public-sector
infrastructure workload.
Internal view of the new offices
Worth noting is the growing position of Bosch Projects in
sustainability projects. We have provided water-wise and
energy-efficient solutions to land developers and industrial
clients who are seeking savings in operational costs. In recent
months, the water shortage in Cape Town has triggered a
rise in requests to harvest rainwater, and to reduce, reuse and
recycle grey water.
Bosch Projects has active projects in the property sector that
is currently showing above-average growth in the region.
We deliver a full range of planning, engineering design and
supervision services to residential, commercial and industrial
developments.

Driftsands collector sewer Augmentation – Phase 1
Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
appointed Bosch Projects as consulting
engineer for Phase 1 of the Driftsands
Collector Sewer Augmentation. The
subsequent construction contract has
been awarded to WK Construction.
The full scope of this 4-phased project
will entail 4.2km of sewer pipes that are 1
500mm and 1 200mm in diameter. This
augmentation will address the sewerage
requirements for the existing and future
developments for the western suburbs
of Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality.
Phase 1 of the project entails augmentation
of the existing 1 050mm diameter line
with 1 850m of 1 500mm concrete
HDPE-lined sewer. The new sewer
line starts at Driftsands Wastewater
Treatment Works, runs parallel to the
existing line, then branches off to by-
pass the planned ACSA extension of
the Port Elizabeth Airport Runway.
Sewer pipe excavation
Over and above the 1 850m of 1 500mm ø
Concrete HDPE lined sewer, the contract
bill of quantities for Phase 1 entails
26 manhole structures, one diversion
chamber, one division chamber and bulk
earthworks. The depth of the trench
excavation varies between 1m and 6m
deep, with imported fill.
The contract document requires that
25% of the contract value be set aside
for the development of emerging
subcontractors, who will be employed
from the local community.
This contract (Phase 1) is still in progress
and the due date for completion is
November 2018.
