Basil Read awarded two projects worth more than R400m
Construction, mining, development and engineering group Basil Read on Monday announced that it had secured two significant projects collectively worth more than R400-million.
The first project, which was awarded to Basil Read Civils by State-owned power utility Eskom, was a contract for further work to be carried out at the Medupi power station, in Limpopo.
The contract, which would be executed over 20 months comprised Phases 1 and 2 of the power station’s excess coal stock yard and would include 965 000 m3 of bulk earthworks, 437 000 m3 of layer works, 1.1-million square meters of geosynthetic installation and would also require 23 000 t of bentonite.
Meanwhile, Basil Read Roads had been awarded the N8 Kloofeind Haldon contract, in the Free State, by the South African National Roads Agency.
The 20-month project would start on March 7 and involved the rehabilitation of 10 km of the N8, including pavement strengthening, road widening and drainage improvements.
“We are pleased to have secured these important contracts from two of our major clients. We will continue in our endeavour to partner with our clients to deliver critical infrastructure on the continent,” Basil Read executive director for construction Bruce Morton said.
