Very short path for crack to propagate through thin surfacing – making preventative maintenance strategy crucial as at SANRAL. New Road CONSTRUCTON Cost per km Difference due to terrain (Flat, Rolling, Mountainous), Number of Interchanges, Number of Trucks, Climate, etc. 12 Our Pavements are seriously getting old As seen 76% of paved network older than original 20 year design life, resulting in a high risk for accelerated deterioration under poor preventative maintenance regime as with most road authorities in South Africa. 13 Why is it Happening – Axle Loads RSA designed for 8.2 ton axle load, Now its 9 ton SADC accord signed 2015 allows 10 ton.

The Average OCI of 74, is also above international norm of 70. This is largely due to the preventative maintenance first strategy followed by SANRAL, the impact of all preventative maintenance on roads incorporated since 2012 is evident in 2016 & 2017 condition results. The condition of remainder of strategic and primary roads under provincial administration is substantially worse (36.2% in poor to very poor), and needs to be addressed as matter of priority due to negative impact on South African economy. 23 SANRAL AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC More than 70 % of SANRAL network has less than 5000 vpd – “Below Toll Threshold” – Thus reliant on National Treasury allocations. 30 % Toll viable of which 13 % is already tolled. 24 SANRAL NETWORK VEHICLE KILOMETRE TRAVEL SANRAL network only 3.6% of length, but carries 34.1% of vehicle kilometres. Also carries 70% of the long distance road freight traffic (43% of total freight). 25 Road Asset Management System by SANRAL 26 Typical Life Cycle of Most Roads !

  • South Africa's National Roads Agency, 1998
    INCREASING TRANSPARENCY AND IMPROVING PROJECT MANAGEMENT: SOUTH AFRICA’S NATIONAL ROADS AGENCY, 1998 – 2011 SYNOPSIS Following the transition to democracy in 1994, South Africa experimented with ways to improve ministry effectiveness by separating policy-making functions from operations. The Department of Transport introduced principles of New Public Management and public-private partnerships to improve service delivery. The South African National Roads Agency Ltd. (SANRAL), led by Nazir Alli, reconfigured the procurement process and financing models for planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of the country’s national road network. Increasing transparency in the tendering of contracts led to greater accountability on the part of project managers and contractors. This case study chronicles the steps that Alli and his staff took to build the agency and to deliver results on a large scale, culminating with the upgrade of the freeway connecting the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria during the final months before the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Richard Bennet drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in Pretoria and Cape Town, South Africa, in March 2011. INTRODUCTION (SANRAL) at the time, recalled, “For all of us In the months leading up to the 2010 in South Africa, it was at the moment again FIFA World Cup, South Africa braced itself like April 1994 [when Nelson Mandela was for an influx of visitors from around the world. elected president]. …There was this huge Construction workers scrambled to finish enthusiasm to say we know we can do it, and major infrastructure upgrades, including the we’ve got to deliver. … Everybody pulled their first part of the Gauteng Freeway weight to make sure that we met those Improvement Project, an upgrade of the roads milestones.” The first phase of the project connecting the cities of Johannesburg and highlighted SANRAL’s ability to renovate and Pretoria.

  • Archaeological and Historical Investigation of the Proposed Developments at Hoopstad, Free State
    26 March 2004 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS AT HOOPSTAD, FREE STATE INVESTIGATION The site for the proposed housing development and truck stop at Hoopstad was visited and inspected on 25 March 2004. Niel Devenish of Cebo Environmental Consultants, Bloemfontein, took me to the site. The area was examined for possible archaeological and historical material and to establish the potential impact on any cultural material that might be found. The Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is done in terms of the National Heritage Resources Act (NHRA), (25 of 1999) and under the Environmental Conservation Act, (73 of 1989). LOCALITY The proposed developments are located west of Hoopstad and east of the R34 road to Bloemhof and south and north of the R59 entrance road from Hertzogville. The area borders on the existing residential and business area. The developments will take place on the remainder of the farm De Brug 1191, Hoopstad (Surveyor-General 1973). The specific dimensions of the area are indicated on a detailed map prepared by the developer. The following GPS coordinates were taken: • Commercial developments (27°50’04”S. 025°53’58”E. Altitude 1245m) south of the entrance road (27°50’02”S. 025°53’56”E. Altitude 1251m) with the southern border at 27°50’11”S. 025°53’53”E. Altitude 1249m) • Developments north of the entrance road (27°50’04”S. 025°53’58”E. Altitude 1245m) adjoining the Farmers Coop and adjacent to the quarry. (27°49’57”S. 025°53’59”E. Altitude 1251m) FINDS Due to disturbances by road building and the close proximity of the existing residential and commercial area and the quarry, no remains of early human occupation or cultural material could be found in this area.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: GAIN Report Number: South Africa - Republic of TREE NUTS ANNUAL TREE NUTS ANNUAL Approved By: Kari Rojas Prepared By: Linda Siphugu Report Highlights: For marketing year 2009/10, a production of 25,940 MT Wet In Shell (WIS) is estimated; this expected increase is due to the ample number of hectares planted in all South African macadamia producing areas .For marketing year 2008/09 South Africa produced 23,112MT WIS macadamias. This represented a 13.5 percent increase compared to the previous season due to increase in production in all South African macadamia producing areas. Although the majority of South African macadamias are still exported to North America (United States and Canada) and Europe, sales volumes to these countries dropped to 68.2 percent in 2008 whilst volumes to South East Asia and Japan substantially grew by 41 percent and 71 percent respectively. The economic melt down is blamed as the culprit for the drop in sales nut volume in North America. The scope of exports is expected to widen to include the UK since South African Macadamia Growers Association (SAMAC) and Australian Macadamia Society (AMS) have joined forces to embark on a program to stimulate the use of the Macadamia nuts. Executive Summary: South Africa’s 2009 macadamia nut production is expected to increase to 25,940MT Wet In Shell (WIS) which is largely due to an increase of area harvested.
