1. PROJECT OVERVIEWThe Department of Roads and Transport in Limpopo had a challenge of Diesel supply for graders which were stationed in communities.
These graders were meant for blading of roads within the communities. The process of supplying diesel was not cost effective in terms of running costs ( amounting to +- R2m) and delayed processes of delivering.
3Slide4
Project overview cont.
Limpopo Province is mostly rural. The Provincial
R
oads Infrastructure is about 70% gravel roads and almost 30% tarred roads and therefore graders used to travel long distances, i.e +- 60km single trip from their stations to site whereas the required norm is less than 35km.The long travelling of graders to sites causes delay in the normal blading and re-gravelling of roads and causes transmission failure and engine overheating which ultimately causes high expenditure on maintenance and repair costs.
4Slide5
Project overview cont.
The
challenge of fuel contamination and spillage was then experienced when using Used Oil
Drums when supplying diesel to graders. The Department also had an alternative of purchasing Diesel Tanker Trucks that have to travel to fill up graders at different sites which was too costly in terms of purchase and running costs estimated at R2,4m per truck and some graders could not be utilized for the whole day because it takes time to drive around filling up diesel.
Each truck was
also estimated
at 15 000 km p/m which will result in quick deterioration and shorter life span.
5Slide6
2. THE INNOVATION
Our Mechanical Services Division conducted a research and designed specification for a better alternative that could be
cost economic
to the Department and improve production.We designed a specification for the manufacturing of the HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANK.We procured HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANK, 12 volt battery operated pump and flow meter with filter.6Slide7
THE INNOVATION
We used recycled material (angle iron bar & square tubing) to built frames to secure the tank and pump system.
Other materials used are nipples, sockets, elbows, hose clamps, sealants, suction hoses, pump kit and workshop equipment & consumables
7Slide8
THE INNOVATION
We designed the Tank which would be compatible to the LDV and submit such to
JoJo
Tankers company to manufacture.The HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANKS were fitted into eight LDVs with a diesel pump and a meter gauge which led to reduction of running costs and elimination of diesel spillage. One LDV carrying 600 litres of diesel was able to service three graders at once.The project was done In-house from the start up to its finality.8Slide9
HEAVY DUTY PLASTIC TANK FITTED TO THE LDV
9Slide10
THE INNOVATION
To
overcome the challenge of fuel contamination and spillage that was experienced when using Used Oil
Drums to supply diesel.Quicker response to refuel graders on site by using LDVs instead of trucks.(trucks’ running costs are higher than those of LDVs).10Slide11
THE INNOVATION
Protection of Environmental Hazards
Prevention of soil, water and air pollution by reducing oil and fuel spillages.(In terms of Waste Management Act )
Low risk of fire.We used recycled material to build frames i.e flat iron bars, angle iron and square tubing. (In terms of Green Economy & Climate Change)11Slide12

PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY (continue)
Continuous maintenance of the tanks by mechanical services as the initiators for sustainability.
To put a stop valve between the tank and pump in case the pump
malfunctions.Conduct continuous innovative research on the improvement of the project.To put warning stickers on all Tanks.17Slide18

4. PROJECT REPLICABILITY
The project has been shared with other Districts within the Province and is being implemented.
The project was shared through a presentation with KZN Dept. of Transport at Durban Region (Cost Center Metro)
The project is shared with relevant sister Departments and Municipalities. 19Slide20

which
may result to sickness
in the long run.

Improved service delivery due to increased availability of machinery
High
risk of environmental hazards caused by diesel spillages
Protection of environmental hazards
20Slide21
COST SAVINGS AND BENEFITS OF PROJECT (continue
)
PREVIOUS
CURRENTHigh repair & replacement costs for filters, pumps caused by fuel contamination.Less repair costs as the Plastic Tanker does not rustPurchasing
of Diesel Tanker is estimated at +- R2m.
Purchasing of LDVs and including
project is estimated at +- R170 000.00.
In case of Diesel Tanker Truck breakdown, service delivery is
hampered until the Truck is repaired.
In the event of the LDV breakdown, a tanker can be transferred to another LDV for continuous service delivery.
Some graders could not be utilized for the whole day because it takes time to drive around filling up diesel.
Quick response to refill graders
In
case of Grader breakdown on site, diesel was prone to theft.
Diesel can now be transferred from the grader to the JoJo Tank
and visa versa.
21Slide22
COST SAVINGS AND BENEFITS OF PROJECT(continue)
Cost incurred for this innovative alternative is approximately half
the
cost on Used Oil Drums and Diesel Tanker Truck.There is less fuel starvation as a result of using clean diesel, saving on replacing or repairing fuel filters & fuel pumps, less downtime and improved production.22Slide23
COST SAVINGS AND BENEFITS OF PROJECT
(
continue)
Reduced trips from maintenance centres to site as the fuel capacity inside the tank (600 litres) can fill up to three Graders at once. 23Slide24
