When Theewaterskloof Municipality needed to refurbish some of the mechanical equipment at the Grabouw Wastewater Treatment Works, Enviro Metsi joined forces with Circuit Water Engineering Equipment to execute the project.  While Circuit Water focussed on the supply of replacement surface aerators, we dealt with the refurbishment of two of the clarifiers at the works – an approach that optimised the strengths of each of the parties involved and provided the client with the best possible solution

Project duration: 6 months

Drakenstein Municipality required the services of a Class V Process Controller to assist with the management of the Paarl Wastewater Treatment Works and oversee the operations at the Wellington, Saron and Pearl Valley Works.  Enviro Metsi not only provided the municipality with the services of a Plant Manager, but also assisted the team with the compilation of Standard Operating Procedures, the implementation of Record Keeping Systems and the refinement of their Reporting Systems

In order for Process Controllers to operate a Water Services Works in an efficient manner they need to understand the basic principles behind the processes utilized at these plants.  This is exactly what Enviro Metsi aimed to achieve during the recent Training Intervention project for Multinet Systems. During this project one of our Training Facilitators provided the Process Controllers with theoretical background training relating to the functions they need to fulfil on a day-to-day basis.  This was based on selected Unit Standards from the NQF2: National Certificate: Water and Wastewater Treatment Process Operations   In order for this knowledge to turn into practical skills, the theory was then followed-up by hands-on coaching on the plants where these personnel are employed.

The Department of Public Works is the registered owner of a number of Border Posts (Ports of Entry) Hospitals, Police Stations, Prisons, etc.  These facilities are typically located quite a distance from the nearest town and therefore needs to be self-reliant in as far water- and wastewater treatment is concerned.  In order to properly operate and maintain these Water- and Wastewater Treatment Facilities the Department, as and when required, makes use of Contractors to assist with operation and maintenance related tasks. 

The Buffeljagsrivier and Helderstroom Prisons in the Western Cape were some of the facilities where this approach was followed.  As there was a significant portion of structural repairs included in the project, Botes & Kennedy Manyano acted as main contractor while Enviro Metsi came on board as specialist subcontractor focussing on mechanical repairs as well as the Operation and Maintenance of the upgraded plant.   

Project duration: 4 years

As part of “best practice” –principles a number of Water Services Authorities still use the principles provided by the Department of Water & Sanitation’s Blue Drop & Green Drop Programmes as guidance when it comes to the management of their Water- and Wastewater Treatment Systems.  One of the Water Servicers Authorities who aim to maintain the systems, policies and procedures implemented as part of the Blue Drop & Green Drop Programme is Breede Valley Municipality.  It is then for this reason that they awarded a contract for Plant & Process Audits as well as the update of their Water Safety Plans to Enviro Metsi

Even though Stellenbosch Municipality has an extensive Operational Monitoring Program, Compliance Monitoring is outsourced to a SANAS –accredited laboratory.  As part of this Water Quality Management Programme, Enviro Metsi is involved  as subcontractor to CSIR: Stellenbosch.  The project comprises sampling of key points throughout the Stellenbosch municipal area, ensuring data is captured on the Department of Water & Sanitation’s IRIS –system as well as the compilation of monthly Compliance Reports to the Municipality
