NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT :

The Project comprises the design and construction of a new dual carriage major arterial road from Gaborone to the Tlokweng Border Post, either along the existing alignment (40% peri-urban, 60% rural) or as Southern Bypass around the peri-urban area to connect with the Western Bypass of Gaborone.  The project included a new 30km arterial highway (dual and single carriageway) and 15km associated service roads and a new reinforced concrete bridge of some 60m span to dual carriage. Design speed: 100km/hr; Dual Carriageway: 19.6 m wide (5 m median) + 2x 2m footpath; Single Carriageway: 9.6 m wide+ 1 x 2m footpath; Pavement: flexible comprising of asphalt surfacing; graded crushed stone base, upper and lower cement stabilized natural gravel subbase and upper and lower natural gravel selected subgrade

• Two parallel Flocculation Tanks (with provision for dosing of Coagulants)

• Two parallel Clarifiers, of the sludge-blanket type

• Two parallel rapid-gravity sand filters

• A water storage collection tank 104m3 (which serves as a dual-purpose pump-sump for feeding the Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters)

• One Pressurized GAC filter

• 3.6ML treated-water storage reservoir, to meet the storage times/p>

• Chemical dosing equipment needed for preparation and dosing of Lime for pH correction, and primary and secondary coagulants

• A separate building for the preparation of Chlorine Dioxide

• Two parallel filter backwash water recovery tanks

• Overflow pipework that serves the Head of Works, the Clarifiers, the Filters and the Reservoir

• Two sludge Lagoons, and associated feed- and underflow pumping equipment

DESCRIPTION OF ACTUAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR STAFF :

The services that are being / will be provided by staff is summarized as follows:

Responsible for the hydraulic design; integration of the electrical, control, instrumentation and mechanical design into the treatment works buildings and structures and the design of the building, structural and civil work elements

APPROXIMATE VALUE OF SERVICES :

P 3.7 Million

TOTAL PROJECT VALUE :

P 34 Million

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT :

This is a three-storey office building.  The building consists of a ground floor car park, suspended 1st and 2nd floors.  The reinforced concrete frame supports an SDS floor system.  The roof is of timber trusses with concrete tiles.

Extensive detailed calculations were carried out for the foundations of this building, in order to provide an economical solution to founding on problematic soils.

External civil works comprise paved roads & parking, sewerage, water supply, storm water drainage and boundary wall.

The project is complete and building handed over and occupied by AFA.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTUAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR STAFF :

Full Pre-Contract (Design) and Post-Contract (Supervision) civil and structural engineering services.

APPROXIMATE VALUE OF SERVICES :

P130 000,00

TOTAL PROJECT VALUE :

P5.2 Million

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT :

The project is to establish a new multidisciplinary classroom and office facility with an area of approximately 28 000m2 for the University of Botswana on the Gaborone campus.

The multi-storey building houses offices, classrooms, laboratories and supporting facilities.  The site is adjacent to the existing Library building and existing hostels on the site are to be demolished to enable construction of the new facility.

The existing sub soil conditions are problematic with an extremely high water table and poor founding material.  Piling is considered the most suitable option on this site.

The structure is a reinforced concrete framed building with maximum slab panel modules of 9m x 7,5m.  The favoured scheme is a conventionally reinforced 215mm deep slab between 1190mm wide by 500mm deep (overall) beams spanning 9 metres.  Lateral stability is provided by shafts and shear walls.

The project is complete and building handed over and occupied by the University of Botswana.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTUAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR STAFF :

Full Pre-Contract (Design) & Post-Contract (Supervision) structural engineering services.

APPROXIMATE VALUE OF SERVICES :

P3 Million (US$500 00.00)

TOTAL PROJECT VALUE :

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

The Roman Catholic Church of Botswana wanted to develop some land, which they had apportioned into individual plots.  It was therefore necessary to come up with an infrastructure Masterplan for the land, which would be implemented in phases.

DESCRIPTION OF ACTUAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR STAFF :

Feasibility study, concept design and detailed design of the roads, stormwater, water supply and sanitation services.
