ProposalDescription: 

Transnet has identified “the Proposed Expansion of the Railway Yard at Turfgrond Substation” to form part of the bigger project, “Transnet Waterberg Rail Corridor Expansion Programme”. The Waterberg Rail Corridor Expansion Programme is a growth node for various activities within the mining and industrial sectors. Turfgrond Substation is an existing 88/25kV substation with one 20MVA transformer, one 88kV incomer bay and two 25kV OHTE feeder bays installed. In order to accommodate the increased freight volumes, Turfgrond substation capacity shall be increased with an additional 20MVA .

Expanded_Motivation: 

The purpose of rail expansion from Waterberg is to provide infrastructure along the coal railway line to increase the coal hauling capacity as well as other commodity traffic on the line including Chrome, Ferrochrome, Cement, Lime, Granite, Iron Ore, Containers and other General Freight. In recent years there have been numerous requests from industry for an assessment and subsequent supply of long term rail network capacity from the Waterberg area to Richards Bay and Maputo, for export, and to various inland destinations, for the domestic market.
