With water in the City dwindling fast and dam levels at an all time low, the drilling rig arrives on site. With the huge demand for drilling rigs in the Western Cape the only one available was one on tracks. Ironically dark clouds are looming and rain threatens as drilling begins. Complications arose once water was struck as the clay layers above the water strike started to wash out. A rotary mud drilling rig was brought in to try and secure the hole sufficiently to install t

For three months we have audited the water requirements of the factory, and implemented numerous water saving projects. It has been determined that our average daily water requirement is 45 KL. We have ordered up the water tanks and in preparation for their arrival have begun the building of the foundations. #water #tankfarm #waterproject #watersecurity
