It also informs municipal budgeting and resource allocation as prescribed by the Municipal Systems Act . This document represents the first (1st) Review of our Fourth Generation IDP for the 2017-2022 period. To complement the IDP 2017-2022, Drakenstein Municipality went beyond the legislative five year period (2017-2022) and deliberately adopted “Vision 2032”. This is a strategic matrix designed to plan beyond, to negotiate a legacy for which this Council can account for and one everyone can be proud of. This fourth generation IDP will act as the launching pad which will put into motion enhanced service delivery with an emphasis on unlocking economic opportunities and investment in our area. As the Executive Mayor of the Drakenstein Municipality, I am proud to be associated with Vision 2032. It is my firm believe that this strategic intent will deliver much needed jobs, housing, improved physical and economic infrastructure as well as addressing service delivery backlogs. With a renewed sense of urgency, focus and energy this Council will ensure that the needs of the Drakenstein Community and its challenges are being addressed at an accelerated pace. This is the importance of Vision 2032. It embraces our community in participatory development ensuring that needs and objectives are being met to the highest standards. Priorities contained in the IDP are dynamic and to some extent evolving, which is what drove this Council to adapting its priority list to reflect the actual and imminent needs of our most vulnerable members in our community. It is in this spirit that we as a Council encourage your participation and to take ownership of developments in your area. The newly appointed Council are committed to Vision 2032 and are looking forward to a lasting legacy. A legacy founded on a strong value base and inspired by a vision which will facilitate a better future for all in Drakenstein. When envisioning Vision 2032, the outcome is clear. Drakenstein Municipality is well on its way to becoming an extraordinary “A city of excellence” Councillor Conrad Poole EXECUTIVE MAYOR 6 A city of excellence DRAKENSTEIN MUNICIPALITY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (IDP) | 2018/2019 OVERVIEW BY THE CITY MANAGER The 2032 strategic vision sets the strategic agenda for the five-year Integrated Development Plan (IDP) and guides development planning and implementation within Drakenstein. This IDP was reviewed in consultation with all our stakeholders to ensure that it is dynamic and relevant in addressing the needs and expectations of our community. I want to express gratitude to everyone that participated through our IDP engagements and made valuable contributions in the development of this plan. It therefore reflects the priorities of the municipality which are informed by the needs of our community. Annually we will review our strategic objectives and key performance areas with the sole purpose of ensuring sustainable development and improving service delivery. The review of the IDP afforded the municipality an opportunity to reflect on its experiences and successes and to re-configure its strategic focus in order to address future challenges. Emphasis will be placed on improving service delivery and identifying new economic growth areas. Our five-year budget as well as the performance agreements of managers are aligned with the IDP. The organisational structure of Drakenstein will also be reviewed to ensure that it is aligned and ready to respond to the strategic vision. As the administration it is our responsibility to make things happen and to create an enabling environment that support local democracy and enhance service delivery. In all our efforts we will ensure that all available resources are optimally utilized and that value for money is achieved. Our vision remains “A city of excellence” and we will continue to serve our community in the best possible way. This will be achieved by a well-motivated and skilled workforce and the adoption of a customer centric planning and implementation approach.

  • Design and Construction of Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced Concrete (UTCRC) on N1 Near Hugenote Tunnell
    MATEC Web of Conferences 199, 08002 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201819908002 ICCRRR 2018 Design and Construction of Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced Concrete (UTCRC) on N1 near Hugenote Tunnell Steph Bredenhann1*, Johan van Heerden2, Pieter Strauss3, and Phillip Joubert2 1South African National Roads Agency SOC Ltd (SANRAL), Cape Town, South Africa 2Royal HaskoningDHV, Cape Town, South Africa 3Private Consultant, Pretoria, South Africa Abstract: In 2009, the National Route 1 Section 1 between km 56.1 and km 61.5, located North East of Paarl in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, was rehabilitated and widened. As part of the rehabilitation and widening contract the downhill truck crawler lane was constructed as an experimental pavement section. This experimental pavement section was constructed with a 50 mm thick Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (UTCRCP). Early in 2010 sections of the experimental UTCRCP started to fail and consequently necessitated repair. In October 2014 a service provider was appointed for the special maintenance of the truck crawler lane on the National Route 1 Section 1. The project called for the reinstatement of the failed experimental UTCRCP with a re-engineered UTCRCP and a Enrobé à Module Élevé (EME) asphalt base layer with an Ultra-Thin Friction Course (UTFC), at various locations along the southbound (downhill) truck crawler lane. The project objective was specifically formulated to enable a long term performance comparison of both the re-engineered UTCRCP and the EME with UTFC under repeated traffic loading. The focus of this paper is the documentation and assessment of the initial pavement (structural analysis) and material design process, the construction of the UTCRCP, with cognizance of the challenges experienced during construction as well as the initial performance comparison.

Box 494, Cape Town 8000, Republic of South Africa b Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, Western Cape Government, Republic of South Africa c Stellenbosch University Water Institute (SUWI), Stellenbosch Central, Stellenbosch 7599, Republic of South Africa *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract By 2050 it is predicted that 67% of the world population is expected to be living in urban areas, with the most rapid levels of urbanisation taking place in developing countries. Urbanisation is often directly linked to the degra- dation of environmental quality, including quality of water, air and noise. Concurrently, the climate is changing. Together, the negative impacts of climate change and urbanisation pose significant challenges, especially in developing countries where resources to mitigate these impacts are limited. Focusing on the Berg River Catch- ment in South Africa, which is experiencing increasing levels of urbanisation, the impacts of climate change, the ‘wicked problem’ of service delivery to the historically disadvantaged within a developing country, persistent infrastructure backlogs, and where high unemployment is prevalent, this paper explores the increasing water quality risks due to climate change and rapid urban development and the likely direct and indirect economic impacts that this will have on the agriculture sector, which is a key contributor to the regional and national econ- omy.

  • Nedbank Capital Expenditure Project Listing 2019
    CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PROJECT LISTING 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2019 NEDBANK GROUP ECONOMIC UNIT 11 February 2020 NOTES: Definition: The schedule is a listing of capital projects announced in the Republic of South Africa. It includes: • Only projects valued at R20 million or more. • Projects of an expansionary nature, i.e. capex which allows for an increase in the level of output, rather than pure replacement investment which involves the replacement of worn-out or outdated capital goods necessary for the continued operation and the maintenance of current output levels. The exceptions are: • investment in equipment or machinery which reduces the harmful effects of pollution, and • technological upgrading of equipment and machinery. • Projects funded by both the private and public sectors. • Projects reflecting direct foreign involvement. The listing is compiled on a sectoral basis, conforming to the Standard Industrial Classification. Limitations: Any analysis of the data needs to take account of the limitations outlined below: • The schedule highlights significant areas of investment expenditure and not the absolute total value of all capital investment undertaken in the country. It serves as a rough guide to the general direction in which investment is moving and as an indication of the level of confidence in the economy. • The full extent of replacement capital expenditure is not captured as mainly expansionary capital expenditure are published and recorded. • In certain sectors a reliable indication of investment activity is not possible as typical investments are not large enough to be included in the schedule, even though the total capital expenditure in the sector may be substantial.

  • TRANSPORT FIRST PAPER the Scope of the Transport Industry In
    TRANSPORT FIRST PAPER The Scope of the Transport Industry in the Western Cape FUTURELEAD INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS MEDS: Transport sector EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The review undertaken and outlined in this paper has focused primarily on the passenger and freight transport components of the broad sector. As a first step, a literature review of key policy issues on national, provincial and local level has been undertaken forming the resource base of this paper. Economic trends Nationally, passenger land transport contributes 60% of total transport output and freight about 40% (2002). Key trends and policies increasing the pressure on the road network, includes: Over the past decade there has been a significant shift from rail freight to road freight, due to a decline in rail service efficiency and challenges with inter-mode changes, associated with rail. A dramatic growth in exports over the last decade, due to globalisation and our (South African) political transformation (democracy), opening new markets. An increase in the export volume of manufactured products over primary produce, increasing from 5% to 20% of total exports. Government’s policy aimed at ensuring economic opportunity for all citizens, coupled with its policy to provide basic personal mobility for all, driving the demand for personal mobility, particularly public transport requirements. These and other (global, economic and social) trends will need to be taken into consideration in the strategy formulation of a micro-economic transport development strategy for the province. Provincial economy In a provincial context, the economy has a gross domestic product of 150bn, of which the following sectors are most prominent: Finance and real estate; Manufacturing; Services; and Trade and catering.

  • SMEC South Africa Awarded Huguenot Tunnel Project
    Media Release SMEC South Africa awarded Huguenot Tunnel project 05 August, 2021 Engineering and infrastructure consultancy firm SMEC South Africa has been appointed by South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) to provide consulting engineering services for the commissioning of the Huguenot Tunnel North Bore and the upgrading of the Huguenot Tunnel South Bore. The 4km tunnel, which is located on the N1 freeway (Section 1) approximately 60km north-east of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province, is a tolled tunnel that carries the freeway through the Du Toitskloof mountains that separate Paarl from Worcester. The tunnel’s supporting infrastructure includes a toll plaza, a main control centre building and tunnel portal buildings that contain extensive electrical, electronic and mechanical systems required to manage and operate the tunnel and toll plaza. SANRAL identified the need for the Huguenot Tunnel to be upgraded and cited the European Directive on Road Tunnel Safety, EU/2004/54/EC Clause 2.1.2. This clause states that when a 15-year traffic forecast shows that the volume will exceed 10 000 vehicles per day per lane, a twin-tube tunnel with unidirectional traffic shall be in place. SMEC South Africa’s scope of work for the North Bore and South Bore includes preliminary design, detailed design, procurement and construction supervision. The design and procurement phase will take place over a period of 15 months, while construction is set to take 55 months to complete. Works on the North Bore will include concrete lining; continually reinforced two-lane pavement with associated drainage and services; electrical, ventilation and fire-fighting systems; and upgrades to the highway on either side of the North Bore (including the design of the new Elands River Bridge and widening of the existing Molenaars River Bridge) to accommodate the two additional lanes to the North Bore.
