BRMO - New Railway Bridge and rail line

Status: 

HeritageAuthority(s): 

Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

BRMO proposes to build a new rail bridge over the Gamagara river. The related rail link to Hotazel will also be upgraded by building a new line adjacent to the existing rail line. Location Gloria 266 & Kipling 271 near Hotazel, Northern Cape.

Expanded_Motivation: 

An existing rail link line runs from BRMO to the Hotazel mainline. The link line passes over the Gamagara river to the south east of the Gloria mine. The rail bridge over the Gamagara river is lower than the surrounding land and therefore trains run through a dip as they cross the river. This significant change in elevation restricts the loads that can practically be transported by the mine due to the train engine power required to push trains through the dip. BRMO thus proposes to build a new rail bridge adjacent to the existing bridge that will enable heavier loads to be transported via the rail link. The rail link will also be upgraded by building a new line adjacent to the existing rail line.
