SIGNED OFF BY: STEPHAN GAIGHER Substation and 132kV Powerline: iii Heilbron (via Frankfort) to Villiers 2017/06/19 Executive SUMMARY Site name and location: Heritage Walkdown Report for the Construction of a Substation and 132kV Power lLine from Heilbron (via Frankfort) to Villiers Developer: Eskom Distribution SOC Ltd, Free State Operating Unit Consultant: G&A Heritage, PO Box 522, Louis Trichardt, 0920, South Africa. 38A Vorster St, Louis Trichardt, 0920 Date of Report: 19 Junie 2017 The purpose of the management summary is to distil the information contained in the report into a format that can be used to give specific results quickly and facilitate management decisions. It is not the purpose of the management summary to repeat in shortened format all the information contained in the report, but rather to give a statement of results for decision making purposes. This study encompasses the heritage walkdown. A preliminary layout has been supplied to lead this phase of this study. The project is for the proposed construction of a substation and a single 132kV power line. The power line will be approximately 95km in length and will consist of four main sections that will connect to four existing substations and one newly proposed substation via a loop-in loop-out connection. The four existing substations include Frankfort Municipal Substation, Windfield Rural Substation, Villiers Municipal Substation and Heilbron Municipal Substation. The newly proposed substation will be located near to the existing Tweefort Rural Substation. The proposed power lines therefore are not separate power lines but rather connecting lines between the existing substations and the newly proposed substation along the greater power line network. The registered servitude width will be 31 metres (15.5 metres either side of the centre line). The four main sections of power lines include the following: Proposed construction of a power line from Heilbron Substation to the newly proposed Tweefort Substation near Tweefort Rural Substation (approximately 40km in length); Proposed construction of a power line from Tweefort Substation to Frankfort Municipal Substation (approximately 25km in length); Proposed construction of a power line from Frankfort Municipal Substation to Windfield Rural Substation (approximately 15km); and Proposed construction of a power line from Windfield Rural Substation to Villiers Substation (approximately 15km). Scope of Work The undertaking of a heritage final walk-down assessment on the authorized power line route and new Tweefort substation position. Findings Although some sites of heritage significance were identified, these can easily be avoided during the construction phase by taking cognizance of their position. Fatal Flaws No fatal flaws were identified.
