ProposalDescription: 

Sibanye-Stillwater Rustenburg Platinum Mines (Pty) Ltd (SRPM) Khuseleka 1 Shaft, located near Rustenburg has an existing gas pipeline and a powerline that are at risk due to the continuous erosion of the bank of the Dorpspruit. It is the intention of SRPM to construct river protection measures to stabilise the banks of the Dorpspruit to prevent further erosion while securing the associated infrastructure. The eroded section of river channel will be addressed through the slight re-alignment of the current channel to a location closer to its original route through the provision of a rock armoured channel.

Expanded_Motivation: 

SRPM has a servitude registered adjacent to the Dorpspruit, a tributary of the Hex River, which includes a gas pipeline and powerline which are critical infrastructure for the mining operations. The proposed river protection measures are required as the Dorpspruit is eroding towards an electrical transmission line and compressed air pipeline owned by SRPM (Khuseleka 1 Shaft). The progression of erosion has been significantly faster in recent years, resulting in ~ 5m distance between the riverbank and the gas pipeline and ~2m distance between the riverbank and the pylon. As the rate of erosion progresses, Sibanye-Stillwater has identified such erosion as a risk to the associated infrastructure and is proposing engineering interventions such as the rip rap rock armoured channel to prevent the risk of infrastructure failure
