Replacement of AC
secondary water mains
Ethekwini Municipality has embarked on a project to replace
the old Asbestos Cement (AC) secondary water reticulation
mains within the metropolitan municipal area. This project
will decrease the huge costs incurred due to the high
frequency of burst pipes that causes damage to roads,
properties and pavements. High water losses associated
with pipe bursts and leaks will also be reduced.
S
BA has been appointed for the design and construction monitoring for
the northern area of Durban, which extends from the Umgeni River to
the Tongaat River and inland from the coast to Inanda and Phoenix.
The project entails the replacement of the old un-dipped bitumen AC mains
with new mPVC mains, including re-connection of the existing consumer
connections to the new mains and the installation of new isolating valves
and fire hydrants. The scope of work also includes hydraulic analysis of the
networks to determine the optimum size of replacement pipes and pressure
zoning that will reduce high pressure in these networks.
