CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS AND DRAINAGE

*Drainage (per meter)

R295/m

**Construction of dam (per cubic meter storage volume) (Easy soil / material nearby, Volume > 100 000m³) **Construction of dam (per cubic meter storage volume) (Difficult soil / material far, Volume < 100 000m³) * Cost of drainage includes all costs (calculated at a depth of 2m, moderate soil) ** Diesel included an Consultant fees. Costs can vary depending on the location, slope, type- as well as availability of material on-site. *** Diesel consumption is realistic norms (which vary between different manufacturers)
