Transnet had previously indicated that December 2012 was its earliest completion date while August 2013 was the late completion date for all construction activities.
In 2007, Transnet (formerly Petronet) received a construction licence from the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) to construct and operate the 544 km, 24 inch diameter Durban – Gauteng Pipeline and an associated 160 km, 16 inch diameter inland pipeline network.
The project involves the replacement and expansion of the Durban – Johannesburg Pipeline, which transports refined petroleum products from two refineries in Durban, as well as imported refined petroleum products from storage facilities located in the Port of Durban.
The new pipeline will include three pump stations and the construction of storage terminals in Durban and Johannesburg.
