ProposalDescription: 

Basic Assessment process and Water Use Licence for the proposed expansion of Transnet railway loops in Thabazimbi, Ferrogate and Northam, within the jurisdiction of Thabazimbi Local Municipality in Limpopo Province Transnet SOC Limited proposes to undertake the expansion of railway loops at the aforementioned sites to accommodate 200 wagon trains. The expansion will entail the following: • The expansion will entail the following: • The development of two railway loops of approximately 3.4km, crewing facilities, seven culverts and associated infrastructure adjacent the existing railway line at Thabazimbi; • The expansion of the existing railway network of approximately 3.7km and (4) four culverts at Ferrogate; and • The extension of the existing loop by approximately 4km and two (2) culverts at Northam

Expanded_Motivation: 

Expansion in rail capacity was identified as a strategic initiative and received much focus from Government as a key drive for the South Africa’s economy. In line with these strategic priorities for the country, Transnet has developed a programme for expansion of railway infrastructure between Lephalale in Limpopo province and Pyramid South in Gauteng. The expansions will feed the heavy haul coal line for increased coal exports through the Port of Richards Bay and also deliver coal to several power stations along the existing rail route. .
