BUFFALO RIVER RAW WATER ABSTRACTION
The Ageing Asbestos Cement pipeline was in dire need of replacement. Flowtite GRP was the preferred piping material due to its noncorrosive properties that requires no additional corrosion protection. This is vital as the pipeline was at most times below the water table.
