Behind this photograph is the Hammanskraal water treatment story.

This is the Klipdrift Package Water Treatment Plant in Hammanskraal, where Tecroveer with Rustenburg, , -Consulting contributed to an intervention designed to address an urgent need for drinking water treatment, and (Pty)Ltd was born.

The new package plant has a treatment capacity of 60 million litres a day.
For our teams, the work meant bringing engineering, fabrication and project delivery together around a need that could not wait.

The Calabash configurable modular treatment system forms part of that story: an approach developed to bring treatment processes together and deliver capacity at utility scale.

Safe water depends on the whole system, from treatment through to distribution, operation and maintenance. Each part needs to work for the investment to make a difference in people’s lives.

We will be sharing more about the Klipdrift project, the partners behind it and the engineering decisions that shaped its delivery. The international Recognition it got by the IFME.

712 in. 26 out.

At 09h30 on Wednesday 26 August, three samples were taken at the wastewater treatment works we operate and maintain in Mokopane. The first was raw sewage, the second was taken from the aeration tank, and the third was final effluent. The laboratory reported the results 12 days later.

# COD dropped from 712 mg/l in the raw sewage to 26 mg/l in the final effluent. That is 96% removal, against a limit of 75 mg/l.
# Ammonia was below 0.5 mg/l.
# E. coli was below 1 cfu/100 ml, against a general limit of 1,000.
# Suspended solids were 12 mg/l, against a limit of 25 mg/l.
# Lead, copper and arsenic were all below the laboratory's detection limits.

A single good month is a result. The plant has been compliant in 12 of the last 12 months on all nine determinands it is monitored for. E. coli read zero in 9 of those months, and ammonia never exceeded 0.4 mg/l.

The number we are watching is nitrate. It came in at 8.9 mg/l, which is within the 15 mg/l compliance limit, but it is the highest reading in the 12-month record.

Credit goes to the operations team on site.

Process controllers: which number on a lab report do you read first?

Our 🇿🇦land. Our people. Our water. 💧Our shared heritage.

Heritage Day is a celebration of the people, cultures and traditions that make South Africa home. It is a moment to share our stories, honour our roots and recognise what we can achieve together.

Water is part of that shared story. It nourishes our landscapes, supports our communities and makes everyday moments possible—from preparing a family meal to gathering around the Heritage Day braai.

At Tecroveer, we take pride in the work of caring for this essential resource. Behind every treatment plant are people bringing their skills, dedication and experience together to serve the communities who depend on it.

Today, we celebrate those people alongside the rich diversity of our country. Their work reminds us that the heritage we leave tomorrow is shaped by the care we take today.

Here’s to cleaner water, healthier communities and a future we can build together.

🇿🇦 Happy Heritage Day, South Africa. 🇿🇦

Tecroveer. We Clean Water.

Strong project preparation gives infrastructure a far better chance of being delivered successfully. From our experience in water and wastewater projects, decisions made early around scope, constructability and long-term operation determine whether a project delivers lasting value. Tecroveer Group of Companies

PROJECT PREPARATION | Once considered a stumbling block to critical infrastructure development, project preparation has been significantly strengthened in South Africa, helping pave the way for faster implementation of Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs). This was highlighted by President Cyril Ramaphosa during the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa 2026, hosted by Infrastructure South Africa in Cape Town.

The Symposium brought together more than 1,200 delegates, government officials, infrastructure experts, project sponsors, investors, financiers and technical professionals from across South Africa and the continent.

A biofilter can appear operational while a mechanical failure is developing beneath the surface.

Tecroveer was called in by the client to assess and repair this biofilter. Inspection identified damage around the central drum and distributor-arm connection — a critical part of the system responsible for distributing wastewater evenly across the filter media.

The repair could not be completed adequately on site. The drum was therefore removed and transported to our workshop, where the necessary repairs were completed before it was returned and reinstated.

Why does it matter to distribute waste water evenly?

Uneven or interrupted distribution can reduce contact between the wastewater and the biological media. This affects treatment performance and can place additional strain on the rest of the process.

The before, repair and after photographs show more than a visual improvement. They show the value of:

* Proper fault assessment
* Removing damaged equipment when an on-site repair is insufficient
* Repairing the component under controlled workshop conditions
* Reinstating the system so that distribution can operate as intended

Effective wastewater treatment depends on both the biological process and the mechanical equipment supporting it.

Tecroveer provides practical support to assess, repair and restore water and wastewater treatment infrastructure.

Called in to fix a damaged biofilter.

The central drum was removed, repaired at our workshop and returned to site—restoring the wastewater distribution system to operation.

From assessment to repair and reinstatement.

WOMEN’S DAY | THE WORK THAT NEVER STOPS

When most of us finish our working day, we go home.

But across South Africa’s water and wastewater treatment plants, the work continues.

Process controllers remain at their posts — monitoring, adjusting and responding. Because water doesn’t work office hours.

Today, Tecroveer honours the women among them.

The women working in our plants.
The women supporting our operations.
The women across the water and wastewater industry who carry the responsibility of keeping essential systems running.

And when their shift ends, many step into another role — mother, daughter, partner, caregiver, provider and the person others depend on.

One responsibility doesn’t replace the other. They carry both.

To the women of Tecroveer, and to every woman who helps keep South Africa’s water infrastructure working: we see the contribution you make.

Not only today. Every day.

Happy Women’s Day.

From crisis to global recognition: the Hammanskraal story is this month's IMIESA cover feature.

In May 2023, the Hammanskraal cholera outbreak became one of South Africa's most visible reminders of ageing water infrastructure — and one of its most urgent calls to action.

Following a Ministerial Directive, Magalies Water, Pro-Plan Consulting Engineers and Tecroveer set out to restore safe drinking water to Hammanskraal — not in years, but in months.

By December 2024, the first module of Kalabas (Pty) Ltd's Calabash® system was producing potable water. A year later, all four modules were fully commissioned. And in July 2026, the project was awarded Gold in the Construction Category at the IFME World Congress in Helsinki — recognised among the best infrastructure projects globally.

What made it possible:
✅ Treatment capacity boosted from 42 MLD to 92 MLD — at a live, fully operational works, with zero downtime
✅ 98–99% removal efficiency, even during extreme turbidity events
✅ 50% less coagulant required than the conventional process
✅ A gravity-driven system using under 50 kW per ML treated
✅ Modular units built to last 20+ years

As Pro-Plan's Japie Botha puts it: the true win here isn't measured in megalitres or medals. It's restoring something more fundamental — public confidence that engineering, guided by purpose and collaboration, can protect both human dignity and the constitutional right to safe drinking water.
