BY THE NUMBERS Transnet, focus on infrastructure $12 billion infrastructure-expansion program 91 mtpa iron ore rail capacity total Hatch and its jointventure partners in South Africa were selected to manage the EPCM roles for all projects in an aggressive $12-billion program. 30
Seven ocean ports and the associated export rail lines were expanded to ensure that South Africa’s economic growth was not constrained by lack of capacity of those infrastructure facilities. Hatch’s scope included: • Increasing the capacity of the iron ore rail line from Sishen to Saldanha (800km) from 37 million tonnes per annum to 91 mtpa • Expanding the Port of Saldanha, including revamping tipplers, conveyors, stacker reclaimers and ship loaders • The award-winning widening of Durban Harbor • Developing Ngqura container terminal, and • Expanding the Cape Town container terminal. How do you spell that? Offering professional services on a global basis can be both instructive and engaging. The Republic of South Africa has been expanding its port and rail facilities to accommodate burgeoning commodity exports. A website for one of the port projects explains the potential for confusion over its name, Ngqura. “Several spellings exist for Coega. These include Ngqura, the Xhosa spelling, which is used in the Port of Ngqura Establishment Act and is the official spelling used by the National Ports Authority; Ngqurha, as has been used on occasion by the Department of Public Enterprises; and Coega which is that used by the Coega Development Corporation, the Industrial Development Zone, and by most other people. “Other spellings include Cougha, Coecha, Koecha and Koega. The name is of Khoekhoen origin for the river of the same name and means 'ground water.' Coega is pronounced 'koo-gha,' with a guttural sound forming the last syllable. “To pronounce Ngqura correctly requires an ability to sound the click as used in Koekhoe and Xhosa.” Hatch Advantage July 2011 | 31
