Eikenhof Flexibility Project - Ongoing Compaction Tests

Mapleton Engine Room 3 The Mapleton Upgrade Project is composed of the Construction of Engine Room 3 and Disinfection Plants to augment the pumping capacity of the Mapleton Pumping Station by 600Mℓ/d to bring the installed capacity from 1335Mℓ/d to 1935Mℓ/d, and the available capacity after standby allowance from 990Mℓ/d to 1290Mℓ/d. The New Engine Room 3 at Mapleton is comprised of 2 x 200Mℓ/d and 2 x 100Mℓ/d pump sets with combined pumping capacity of 600 Mℓ/d. The increased pumping capacity will benefit customers such as City of Ekurhuleni, Thembisile Hani, City of Tshwane, Victor Khanye, Govan Mbeki and Lesedi Municipalities. The targeted completion extended to December 2026. Station 5 – 150Mℓ/d commissioning Rand Water is responsible for supplying potable water across several South African provinces, including Gauteng, North West, Mpumalanga, Free State, and Limpopo.

The Station 5A project is part of Rand Water’s augmentation plans to ensure sustainable water supply, targeting an additional 600 million litres per day (Mℓ/day) capacity. Station 5A: 600 Mℓ/day capacity, with partial commissioning of 150 Mℓ/day achieved on 31 August 2023. The remaining 450 Mℓ/day is scheduled for completion by December 2025.
