veillance and 24-hour guard services

TEL: 010 010 5316 www.savannacity.co.za Basil Read, in collaboration with GIBB Engineering and Architecture and the Government, has built an innovative water supply and distribution system that now services its Savanna City development. The aim of the new system is to limit water losses by 10%, which equates to an approximate saving of R11 million per annum. The centrepiece of this ground-breaking initiative is a new, purpose-built R37.3 million reservoir that holds 10 million litres of water. Constructed using ‘self-healing’ concrete that automatically expands to fill in any cracks that may develop. This new water supply has a distribution system which is divided into manageable zones incorporating a series of pressure reducing valves, which make leak detection and repairs much more efficient. The material used for the pipes was also carefully chosen for its strength and durability. All in all, the new Savanna City reservoir is an outstanding example of Basil Read’s commitment to the sustainable use of our precious natural resources. By combining local insight with the best international technology available, Savanna City is leading the way in creating innovative urban planning solutions for the future.
