This project was for a platinum mine in Shurugwi. Water is pumped from a dam through a filtration and dosing system into a small 100m3 holding reservoir. From here large booster pumps pump water through 4” steel pipes 6km away. The pipeline discharges into a 400m3 reservoir on an elevated hill which then gravitates water into the mining village.
From the mining village, we then connected sewer pipes to feed into an underground concrete sump where the sewerage is pumped 4km to 3 sewer ponds to be treated. At the end of the ponds is another pump and filtration unit which kills bacteria from the treated water at the end of the ponds and pumps it into the mining shaft for use in dust suppression.
The project was completed within the specified time span and budget.
