MOSSEL BAY NEWS - The Mossel Bay Municipality thanks the community for its cooperation during the night of 8 October to keep the sewer network as dry as possible.
Work on the new inlet structure to replace the existing inlets at the Hartenbos Regional Sewerage Works were successfully completed overnight.
Final finishing to the inlet structures will now follow.
The municipality has been upgrading the sewerage plant since January this year to cater for the projected population growth.
The replacement of the existing inlets is a necessary upgrade so that the upgrading of the sewerage works can meet the growing need of the town's infrastructure. The existing facilities currently process eight to nine megalitres of sewage per day, although it is designed to process up to 25 Ml by design. Among other things, work included casts done on the main degritter rings and their suspended slabs.
Placement of steel reinforcement on the degritters' outlet channel floors and walls has been completed, with formwork shutters and concrete casts still to be done soon. Additional casts of the concrete slab ring road area have also already been done.
Furthermore, the new 600mm diameter GRP pipeline from the new inlet works to the existing new reactor has been installed, although the tying into the existing reactor is outstanding.
A manhole connecting previously laid PVC pipework to GRP is being constructed, including manholes to tie the new PVC pipeline to the existing old reactor pipeline.
