Other Successful Infrastructure Projects by Aleng South Africa

1. Substation Refurbishments and Upgrades in KZN : We led projects within the City of Umhlathuze that were focused on upgrading and refurbishment of the 132kV substations and were also part of the team involved in refurbishment of a 132kV substation in Msunduzi Municipality.
2. Powerline construction and refurbishment: Refurbishment of 132kV powerlines and replacement of concrete poles with new Steel Monopoles within the Richardsbay Industrial Area.
3. Electrification Projects: working alongside municipalities, Aleng implemented electrification projects and facilitating alternatives solutions (off-grid solutions) at local level to bring electricity to remote areas, empowering local businesses and improving access to education and healthcare services.

4. Solar-Integrated Substations for Sustainable Energy Transition: As South Africa shifts towards renewable energy, we have been involved in integrating solar backup systems into existing substations, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and ensuring energy security.

The Impact on the Local Community

The refurbishment of the Mlungisi Substation goes beyond technical improvements—it directly impacts the livelihoods of local residents and businesses. With a more stable and efficient power supply:

• Businesses can operate without constant disruptions, leading to increased productivity and economic growth.

• Households can enjoy uninterrupted electricity, improving daily life and access to essential services.

• Schools and healthcare facilities can function more effectively, ensuring that education and medical services are not compromised due to power failures.

• Employment opportunities will arise as the project progresses, contributing to local job creation and skills development in engineering and electrical work.
