NMC North facilitating sanitation upliftment in Free State
NMC North , a division of the NMC Construction Group , was awarded the R130 million Senekal Bucket Eradication Programme .
This project is the second project of this nature in the Free State , NMC North is currently executing the R121 million Ficksburg Bucket Eradication scheduled for a September 2017 completion .
B oth projects form part of the Department of Water and Sanitation ’ s
Bucket Eradication Programme which is prioritised for the North West , Eastern Cape , Northern Cape and Free State provinces .
The primary focus is to eradicate the bucket toilet system used in formal and informal areas and replacing this system with the installation of adequate water borne sanitation systems .
The Senekal project significantly boosts NMC North ’ s current order book for the
2016 / 2017 financial year .
The scope of works comprises civils services including construction of a sewer network as part of the bucket eradication programme , grey water supply systems as well as grey water storage reservoirs .
The client for the Senekal project is Vharanani Properties . There is great potential for future business with the client in regions stretching from the Northern Cape to Gauteng and Limpopo .
Take immediate action when you see safety deviations on site ( even if you are not a safety officer , report it ). Safety is everyone ’ s responsibility .
Following a visit to the V & A Waterway House site here is what Louise Fenner-Solomon , Publisher of Architect and Builder Magazine SA had to say , “ From the minute I arrived it was quite obvious that safety issues were taken very seriously and had buy-in from all levels of staff . The site seemed well organised and efficient . It was impressive to see that standards seem to be maintained consistently across the board .”
With team work and correct training every NMC site could be a potential MBSA Safety Competition winner .
