Proposed Riverbank Protection Measures for the Dorpspruit

Sibanye-Stillwater Rustenburg Platinum Mines (Pty) Ltd (SRPM) Khuseleka 1 Shaft, located near Rustenburg has an existing gas pipeline and a powerline that are at risk due to the continuous erosion of the bank of the Dorpspruit. It is the intention of SRPM to construct river protection measures to stabilise the banks of the Dorpspruit to prevent further erosion while securing the associated infrastructure. The eroded section of river channel will be addressed through the slight re-alignment of the current channel to a location closer to its original route through the provision of a rock armoured channel.
