Repairs planned on 600mm and 350mm
Fourie says a contractor is currently busy surveying major leaks by means of a drone to pinpoint the location of all the major leaks.
He says repairs to the 350mm pipeline next to the fly-overs on the N8 will be carried out tomorrow, followed by repairs to the 600mm pipeline behind Roodepan.
All information regarding shutdowns, repairs and progress will be communicated, Fourie concludes.
