ABOUT THIS PROJECT
During 2010, AFI Consult was awarded project GSDM50/2010 as the preferred service provider by the Gert Sibande District Municipality. This project was AFI’s single biggest project. It included Feasibility Studies, Technical Reports, Implementation Readiness Studies and Detail Designs for various bulk water infrastructure schemes in Sheepmoor, Amsterdam, Lusushwane, Empuluzi and Methula. The final estimated construction value was calculated at R1.0billion.
It took eleven (11) years to complete with a dedicated project team. Implementation on the ground has been divided into fifteen (15) major projects and are well underway by alternative service providers. In the end, we were assigned the responsibility to implement the Gabosch Dam from this project.
The scope of work will include the construction of a Category III dam. The dam will have a storage capacity of 1.1M cubic meters with a concrete spillway of approximately 22m high and rockfill NOC of approximately 28m high.
The dam will have supplementary infrastructure such as an access road, administration building and associated electrical infrastructure. Temporary works will include diversion channels, coffer dams, borrow areas, material processing and stockpiling areas.
The estimated cost of the dam is R450M. Construction commenced in mid 2023 and completion is scheduled for 2026.
