The Richmond Bulk Water Supply Scheme pump station project was delivered for uMngeni uThukela Water to support bulk supply to the Richmond area. The project involved the construction of a new booster pump station on the main pipeline route, together with associated structural works, steel pipework, bladder tanks, valves and commissioning of the complete pumping system.
The M&E scope included design, procurement and installation of mechanical equipment, large pump sets, valves, pipework, PLC, HMI and telemetry equipment. 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.
