 3 1, BACKGROUND

• The project is to upgrade a 56-year-old AC sewer outfall pipe in Seweding,

Mmabatho, with a new uPVC pipeline.
• The existing sewer outfall is a deteriorated AC pipe (400mm diameter,
5.5km length) experiencing frequent blockages, collapses, and overflows.
• The project will improve the sewer outfall system’s performance and reduce
the environmental and health risk.
• Relevant stakeholders such as DWS, NMMDM, MLM & Department of
health assisted in resolving the crisis and the overall project.
• Project is recommended by DWS
 4 3, OBJECTIVES OF THE
PROJECT
• Replacement and Rehabilitation: The primary objective of this project is to
replace and rehabilitate the aging Seweding Main Sewer Outfall pipeline.
• Capacity Enhancement: Enhance the sewer outfall's capacity to
accommodate current and future wastewater flows effectively.
Capital project
• Capital project essential due to severe aging-related structural issues in the
Main Sewer Outfall.
• Limited capacity and recurring blockages necessitate extensive upgrades that
go beyond the scope of O&M
• Provides a sustainable sewer system addressing issues that O&M activities
alone cannot resolve.
 5 4, FEASIBILITY STUDIES

• Survey study is currently ongoing with site inspections.

• Geotechnical engineer has been appointed and will commence
with the study.
• As-builts – Surveyor
• Geotechnical, Social, Environmental and Legal studies will
follow

7, SUMMARY OF SCOPE OF WORK

• Conduct a comprehensive survey and geotechnical

8 investigation of the existing sewer outfall.
• Construct and install new sewer pipes with upgraded
materials (uPVC)
• Develop sustainable stormwater management practices to
prevent further contamination
• Collaboration and stakeholder engagement key to
successful implementation
