McLaren adds that the lightweight properties of HDPE also
offer environmental advantages, as more products can be
loaded onto a truck, thereby reducing carbon emissions
caused by additional journeys. "Due to its light weight,
HDPE is also quicker and easier to install than steel, which
ensures further savings. The SANS 4427-approved pipes
were delivered to the project by Incledon in 9m lengths,
and have pressure ratings varying between 10 bar and 16
bar."
Molewa notes that the Department of Water and
Environmental Affairs is committed to assisting the
Msukaligwa Municipality, which falls under the greater Gert
Sibande District Municipality, in providing water to the
local communities, with a number of interventions
implemented in direct response to the water crises in the
region.
Part of the long-term solution under consideration is a
parallel process for the provision of a permanent technical
solution to provide water to the Ermelo and Wesselton
service area through the Regional Bulk Infrastructure
Grant, which is worth approximately R32-million and
should be completed by October this year, according to
Molewa. “A further R335-million is earmarked for the
Msukaligwa Water Supply Scheme for Ermelo, Wesselton
and Breyton,” she adds.
Having successfully supplied large volumes of piping
products to numerous municipalities across South Africa,
McLaren is confident of the future outlook for Incledon.
“For more than a century, Incledon has been recognised as
a preferred supplier to municipalities nationwide, due to
the company’s excellent reputation for providing top
quality products that are backed-up by unrivalled aftersales
support,” he concludes.
