STATION Issue1 1 Background 1.1 INTRODUCTION WSP l Parsons Brinckerhoff (WSP) was appointed to investigate a site for the development of a filling station. A study was launched into opening and operating a filling station on Helderfontein, which is situated alongside the R511 (K46) approximately 5.2km south of Diepsloot, in the Gauteng Province. This evaluation is for a modern filling station with a canopy covered forecourt, a number of pumps selling petrol and diesel fuels and a modern ±200m² convenience store, all on a site that has enough space to accommodate such a development. The purpose of the study is to determine if the proposed site is feasible for opening and operating a modern, benchmark filling station. The study considers the development viability by assessing the impact on competitor stations and the projected volume of fuel to be sold. 1.2 STUDY AREA The location of the site is indicated on the locality map in Figure 1, with photographs of the site shown in Annexure A (all figures and annexures can be found at the back of the report). The study site lies opposite the Valley Centre and is situated in an area that is mostly developed, most of which accommodate private estate/residence. It is located on the north eastern corner of the R511 / Broadacres Drive intersection, (with GPS coordinates: S25o59’37.45 and E28o00’58.45). The R511 is a major north-south arterial road running on the western urban edge between the western suburbs of Pretoria and the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. The area is located between two of the country’s major commercial centres, Johannesburg and Pretoria, and has long
