ENVIRONMENTAL

MSW Consulting also has a very strong network with small dedicated Environmental practitioners, which ensures that our projects are fast tracked through what can be a time consuming process. Our team can manage all environmental processes, including full EIA’s, WULAs, EMP’s and all related specialist studies

Other specialist design fields in which MSW Consulting have strong in-house and networking capability includes; • Pipeline rehabilitation design — Eddie current and thermal scanning. • Waste water design • Water loss management • Pipeline surge analysis • Digital terrain modeling • Operations and Maintenance of Treatment, bulk and reticulation systems. • Managing of labour based and EPWP contracts.

THE MSW FAMILY

With the growth of the company over the past 7 years additional technical and administrative staff has been employed, who have been selected from the previously disadvantaged sector.

In addition to the permanent employees we maintain an ongoing programme of Experiential Training for previously disadvantaged Civil Engineering students.

Since 2007 MSW Consulting has undertaken a commitment to the Singakwenza Ndawonye Student Training Scheme, developed by the Durban University of Technology (DUT). To date we have trained and mentored 14 students, all from historically disadvantaged communities. Four of these students are now permanent employees, whom we are funding for their BachelorsDegrees . The Directors and employees of MSW Consulting cc have a long association with various District

4


and Local Municipalities, as well as the Department of Works, Umgeni Water, Rand Water Services, Department of Water Affairs and the Department of Transport.

We have associations with a wide range of specialist consultants in the structural, roads, geotechnical, environmental, water and waste water process design, water loss reduction, Eddie current and thermal scanning fields of engineering.

We believe that, as a company, MSW Consulting is able to provide a level of service to the client where it is capable of designing, managing and implementing projects at any stage of the project cycle, bringing them to completion within budget and time. Furthermore, the projects are implemented in conjunction with a community involvement methodology, ensuring that projects are implemented holistically - socially, technically and financially.

We believe that this holistic philosophy, coupled with the unique dynamics of our interactive and professional office environment; provides the client intrinsic value that far exceeds the professional engineering service.

PARTICULAR FIELDS OF EXPERTISE

MSW Consulting’s principle focus is in the fields of bulk water transfer, treatment, storage and distribution (including primary, secondary and tertiary (reticulation) levels), water conservation and demand management and infrastructure rehabilitation, and the institutional social development aspect of these projects.

System Rehabilitation

MSW Consulting was appointed by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA) to develop a rehabilitation strategy for their Gamtoos Government Water System. The system has a capacity of 7.5 cumec and traverses a route of some 64 kms from Kouga Dam to Loerie Dam in the Gamtoos Valley in the Eastern Cape. The system includes canals, 22 siphons (concrete and pre-stressed concrete) and 4 tunnels and covered canals. It is used primarily for irrigation of citrus produce for the export market and also provides some 30% of the raw water demand of the Nelson Mandela Municipality.

An extensive risk analysis was carried out with a view to identifying the high risk elements of the system. Thermal imagery and eddy current scanning of pre-stressed concrete siphons were utilized to determine the integrity of system elements.

Following the development of the rehabilitation strategy, MSW Consulting was appointed to implement Phases 1 & 2 of the rehabilitation works valued at some R200m. It is estimated that the value engineering risk assessment reduced capital expenditure by some R800m.

Water Control And Demand Management (WCDM)

MSW Consulting has successfully implemented several WCDM projects within South Africa including:

• Ixopo (Sisonke DM)

9


• Burgersdorp (Joe Gqabi District Municipality)

• Ladysmith (Uthukela District Municpality): On-going

Our approach is to use a carefully tailored combination of the proven analytical BABE (Burst And Background Evaluation) system coupled with a “Find and Fix” approach in order to achieve a rapid yet systematic solution. Where appropriate, we seek means of improving revenue collection as well as reducing physical water losses.

Dysfunctional systems have been rapidly transformedto systems with acceptable water losses.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Engineering is not just about technical jargon, and the bottom line. We love the industry, as at the end of each project, we can see the tangible results of our hard work. Our engineering and design principles are founded on the knowledge that we are part of a greater community, and must always act in the best interests of the larger community. Our strong emphasis on Institutional social development, community training and environmental engineering helps to ensure poverty alleviation and human development through responsible engineering. Recent social and community development initiatives include, inter alia • On the verge—An initiative to help clean up Pietermaitzburg. Originally set-up in 2010, on the verge of the

2010 World Cup, we wanted individuals and businesses to take pride in their work place and surrounds, with a view to cleaning up their verges, gutters and surrounding neighbourhoods.

• KwaSizabantu Mission—MSW Consulting provide financial back-up and construction supervision for the

upgrade and repair to an existing church and living quarters in the poverty stricken Maphumulo district, on behalf of the Ilembe District Municipality.

• Sizwe Ngwavuma Educational Trust— MSW Consulting funded the building of sports facilities for this deprived

community based in northern KZN, for the Crossways Church Mission. • MSW recycles all our paper waste, the funds from which support a local crèche and the SPCA. • Prior to the 2010 Soccer World Cup, South Africa was abuzz with the tournament excitement. To ensure that

children in the rural Tugela valley could also partake in this build-up MSW sponsored 50 soccer balls.

MENTORSHIP Besides the Singakwenza Ndawonye Student Training Scheme which has already assisted more than 14 students through their in-service training, MSW Consulting is also involved in a scholarship program with a local high school, to promote youth development in maths and science, with a view to mentoring continuity of skills in the engineering industries.

14


MSW has also played a mentorship role in the development of various emerging consulting firms e.g Duyaze Consulting, Ubuku Consulting.
