The project entailed the construction of 4 km of 400 mm NB steel potable water pipeline, 5 km of 350 mm NB HDPE service water pipeline, an elevated 392 kℓ pressed steel tank and raft pump station.
The proposed potable water pipeline was connected to Rand Water Board’s existing N1/N4/ N6 pipeline, following the route of an existing 230 mm NB Rand Water pipeline. The pipeline route had a highway road crossing that required pipe jacking. The proposed service water pipeline water pipeline conveyed water from the Ithembalethu mine to an elevated tank at the Shondoni mine.
The project comprised of:
A new access road of 26 km with five new river bridge crossings in the mountainous area of Papua New Guinea to the new Wafi-Golpu mine. The road travels through forest areas and floodplains, making it a challenging design regarding road alignment, safe driving conditions, reduced travelling time and cost, and ensuring sustainable material and equipment supplies and exports to and from the site.
iX engineers was appointed as civil and structural engineers on the Dingleton township resettlement project for Anglo- American in Kathu. iX engineers completed the project following the acquisition of the Public Infrastructure (PI) Business unit of WorleyParsons RSA.
The appointment entailed the construction of 504 houses with outbuildings and the servicing of 820 new stands to accommodate the relocation of residents from land earmarked for open pit mining. Deliverables achieved were the investigation of bulk services availability, design of residential roads and provincial road intersections, gravitational sewer networks and water reticulation, preparation of construction drawings, specifications and quantities, application of a quality management system during construction, and assisting the client, project managers, quantity surveyors, architects, and other engineering disciplines from feasibility phase to close-out.
The maintenance facility included the marshalling yard lines with crossovers, a building for locomotive fuel refilling and sand refill, maintenance building for light locomotive maintenance, a wash bay, a paint facility, a wagon maintenance workshop, a wagon storage yard, effluent and sewerage treatment plant, power supply, Gas store, Lubrication farm, wheel house facility, water supply, access road and bus terminal.
