Last year in March, Zutari was selected to deliver civil engineering services for the Tshwane Automotive Special Economic Zone Phases 1 and 1A. Water and sewer bulk infrastructure design, the bidding process, and overall construction management; bulk earthworks, including needed retaining walls, exterior roads upgrades, and stormwater drainage; and all in-house services for the project were among the services provided.
At the time of Zutari’s tenure, both stages were undeveloped. Some preliminary investigations were in place at the time, including a traffic impact assessment for a portion of the region, a bulk services investigation report, and a preliminary geotechnical investigation report, which the firm could use, according to Zutari professional civil engineering technologist Jaco Kriek. Zutari’s submission of the requisite drawings to the Department of Water and Sanitation aided in the approval of the water usage license.
Designs, Tendering and Construction Plans
The designs, tendering, and building of earthwork platforms and retaining walls for both phases OF THE Tshwane Automotive Special Economic Zone are complete, as are the designs and tendering for exterior roadways with accompanying stormwater and bulk water supplies. Zutari has been in charge of site monitoring and administration on a full-time basis.
In-house services such as sewage, water, fire water, roadways, and stormwater were designed and tendered for both stages, with Zutari also providing full-time site supervision and administration. Construction has begun, and Phase 1 is nearing completion. Most suppliers’ top structure building is well progressed, and several are now functioning. The plans for the intersection renovations are finished, and the building phase is anticipated to start soon.
