PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Please provide a detailed description of the project.
The proposed development is located within Wards 9, 14 and 20 of the Emnambithi /
Ladysmith Municipality and comprises the installation of a new 500mm diameter (Ø)
dedicated bulk water pipeline from Umbulwane to Lombardskop, which will ultimately tie
into the existing bulk water system located in the area. The approximately 7.7km long
pipeline will supply water to an existing 5 mega litre (Ml) concrete reservoir at
Lombardskop, located to the east of Ladysmith town. The purpose of the development is
to address current water supply constraints experienced within the Ladysmith /
Ezakheni areas.
The proposed water pipeline will be assessed based on a corridor of disturbance, with
the corridor width varying from 50m – 350m to allow for construction deviations if these
are required during the construction phase of the project.
The following will be constructed for the Umbulwane to Lombardskop Water Supply
Project:



Lombardskop Rising Main (Dedicated bulk water feeder main to the existing 5 Ml
Lombardskop Reservoir, currently not utilized) - to be linked to the existing
550mm Ø Abattoir pipeline.
 Approximately 7.7Km, 500mm Ø steel pipeline with associated
appurtenant works;
 17 air valve chambers;
 6 scour valve chambers;
 Various crossings of minor water courses;
 Elevated 500mm Ø pipe crossing of the Klip River.
Necessary remedial work to the structure of the existing 5 Ml Lombardskop
Reservoir including water tightness testing; and
Strategic adjustments to the Lombardskop Reservoir Chamber and Distribution
mains to suit supply area demand requirements.
(a) Strategic Infrastructure Projects
Does the project form part of any of the Strategic Infrastructure Projects (SIPs) as
described in the National Development Plan, 2011?
NO
