Project Objectives

Our Role

The project is jointly implemented by the Governments of Lesotho and South Africa, and Phase 2 includes the following works:

  • A 1,000m long 163.5m high concrete faced rock-fill Dam at Polihali, together with a 49.5m high, adjacent “saddle” embankment dam, and a 38.2km long 5.2m diameter transfer tunnel from Polihali to the existing Katse Dam (Phase 1A – 1996).
  • Access and feeder roads, residential and contractors’ camps, power lines, telecommunications, water supply and sanitation.
  • Population resettlement and compensation.

JBB are providing 6 senior experienced specialists to work with the LHDA Projects Department during the project preparation stage. These roles will include providing expertise in project management, procurement, civil engineering, tunnelling, environment, public health and socio-economics.
