The components are new arrivals. They were being brought to the site from various Johannesburg manufacturers on a daily basis  for the final touches of joining pipes and valves in the inlets  and water chambers of the 100km pipeline project ahead of pressure tests and flow of water along the 100km pipeline from Masama East and West aquifers, capable of pumping 64 mega liters of water per day.

About 11 000 of these pieces will be fitted in inlets and  valve chambers ahead of water testing  stage along the pipeline.
