Projects

 The Project team manages the engineering and contractual works of the Company.

The Team's commitment is to:
  • Manage all projects in an efficient and timely manner, ensuring functional objectives are achieved within budgets and programme requirements.

The following list outline a series of significant projects which are currently being and will be undertaken by Connect Saint Helena Ltd.
Red Hill Operational Depot
This project involves the development of the Red Hill Depot Site. It consists of:
  • Creating a larger capacity container storage site.
  • The decommissioned water tank will be converted into a combined office and storage building.
  • Refurbishment of the plumbers workshop.
  • Improve the functionality of the site .i.e. improving parking and access to the site.
Surveying
GIS Surveying is currently on-going.  This project involves mapping the electricity network as well as water pipelines, sewer lines and related facilities.
Short to Medium Term Projects 
  • Relaying of a new gravity fed pipeline from Grapevine Gut reservoir to Scotts Mill reservoir.
  • Relining of Grapevine Gut, Levelwood and Millfield reservoirs to improve water security.
  • Silt build-up in Harpers 2 reservoir will be removed.
  • Construction of a new abstraction chamber and enlarged pipeline between Upper Wells abstraction point and the lower Wells abstraction system to improve on water collection.
  • Laying of a pipeline between the Lower Leggs and Lower Wells abstraction systems and the Hutts Gate Water Treatment Works.  This will replace the various pipelines currently in use, with the objective to reduce maintenance and increase flow.
  • The Ex ADA Drip Irrigation reservoir in Longwood will be enlarged and relined, thus providing suitable infrastructure to support agricultural development in Ropery Field, as well as storage infrastructure required for planned agricultural developments in Bottom Woods.
  • New enlarged raw water pipes will be installed on the Chubbs Spring Water supply zone, to replace the existing pipelines.
  • Development of a new second reservoir adjacent to the existing reservoir in Levelwood, to cater for the future treated water demand in the Sandy Bay areas.
  • Develop new treated water distribution systems to serve the Blue Hill and surrounds.
  • The recently laid enlarged water main from High peak tank to Head o'Wain will be extended to increase water supply to these areas, in order to meet the growing demand.  
  • The water supply network serving lower Ruperts Valley will be upgraded.  Further to this, the bulk feeder to Ruperts Valley from the Briars will also need to be replaced.  
  • Environmental impact assessments will be made on four sites for the purpose of reservoir or earth dam development, namely: the possible enlargement of Harpers 2 reservoir, development of reservoir at Frenches Gut, and additional earth dam at Rural retreat and the development of an earth dam in Fishers Valley.
