Electrical works included pump set motors, switchgear, transformers, variable frequency converters, MCCs and control systems operating the potable water pumps. The project demonstrates Icon Construction’s strength in high-head, high-capacity pump station delivery.

The Midmar Water Works Upgrade Phase 2 was delivered for uMngeni uThukela Water near Howick in KwaZulu-Natal. The upgrade increased the plant’s raw water intake capacity to approximately 395 ML/day in order to support 375 ML/day of saleable water, with works spanning civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, control and instrumentation disciplines.

The mechanical, electrical and control scope included dosing systems, chlorination equipment, pulsator clarifier works, rapid gravity filters, backwash balancing, clariflocculators, gravity thickener and centrifuge equipment. Electrical works included medium voltage switchgear, underground cabling, low voltage switchboards, MCCs, VSDs, UPSs, earthing and lightning protection. The completed upgrade strengthened a key regional treatment facility while maintaining focus on process reliability and operational integration.

The Pacaltsdorp West Circular Reservoir, Pumpstation and Associated Infrastructure project was delivered for George Municipality in the Western Cape. The project involved the construction of a new circular reservoir, pump station, chambers and interconnecting pipelines to strengthen potable water storage and transfer capacity for the Pacaltsdorp West area.

The works included reservoir inlet, outlet, scour and overflow infrastructure, pump station construction, pipeline connections, valve chambers, mechanical and electrical works, telemetry, control and instrumentation, flow, level and pressure transmitters, interconnecting fibre, and commissioning. Delivery required careful coordination between water-retaining concrete construction, pumping infrastructure, pipework and specialist M&E systems.

The completed project provides important additional municipal water infrastructure for the George area and demonstrates Icon Construction’s ability to deliver integrated reservoir and pump station projects with the civil, mechanical, electrical and instrumentation components required for long-term operational reliability.

The Maphumulo Bulk Water Supply Scheme Phase 3 Water Treatment Works Upgrade was delivered for uMngeni-uThukela Water in KwaZulu-Natal. The project increased the treatment capacity of the Maphumulo Water Treatment Works from 6 ML/day to 12 ML/day and included extensive works to chemical dosing, controls, valves, process infrastructure and operational buildings.

The mechanical, electrical and instrumentation scope included relocation of the control room with SCADA equipment, ducting, lighting, earthing and lightning protection, relocation of existing lime dosing, decommissioning of ammonia dosing, new bentonite, PAC, potassium permanganate and chlorine dosing installations, dosing pumps, valves, pipework, actuators, telemetry and fibre cable relocations, and commissioning. The completed upgrade demonstrates Icon Construction’s capability in process-led treatment works upgrades where M&E/I systems are central to plant performance.

The Nsezi Water Treatment Works Augmentation project was delivered for uMngeni uThukela Water, formerly Mhlathuze Water, near Richards Bay. The upgrade expanded the treatment works from 205 ML/day to 260 ML/day and included major new process structures such as clarifiers, filters, dissolved air flotation units, a chlorine contact tank, a backwash recovery reservoir and inlet tower works.

The mechanical, electrical and instrumentation scope included rotating bridges, flocculation mixers, filter floors and nozzles, pipework, valves, chemical dosing points, flow metering, pneumatically actuated equipment, upgraded electrical supply and SCADA integration for monitoring and limited process control. Delivered in a live treatment works, the project highlights Icon Construction’s capability in complex process-driven water infrastructure.

The Tongaat Water Treatment Works remediation project was delivered for eThekwini Water & Sanitation after flood damage affected the 21 ML/day treatment facility. The works were aimed at restoring the plant to reliable operation so that it could again supply potable water to Tongaat South, Metcalfe, Mamba Ridge, Hambanathi and the Belvedere and Emona reservoir systems.

The project placed strong emphasis on mechanical, electrical and instrumentation recovery, including refurbishment of the pump station, chlorine dosing, instrumentation installation, new MCC structures, motors and pumps, control valves, telemetry upgrades, chambers for mechanical installations and SCADA programming. The works required disciplined recommissioning of essential treatment and pumping systems within critical municipal water infrastructure.

The Kwanovuka Water Supply Scheme Phase B was delivered for uMgungundlovu District Municipality near Impendle in KwaZulu-Natal. The project formed part of a broader water supply programme to improve potable water infrastructure for rural communities in the area.

The works included a reinforced concrete reservoir, abstraction works, water treatment plant infrastructure, reticulation pipelines, a rising main, metered standpipes, and associated civil structures. Construction required careful coordination across dispersed sites, with attention to access, testing, commissioning, and integration of the different components of the water supply system.

The completed project improved local water supply infrastructure and demonstrates Icon Construction’s capability in delivering combined civil, pipeline, treatment, and reticulation works in rural environments.
