WHO WE ARE

EDS Projects Engineering (Pty) Ltd in association with WSE Design Works (Pty) Ltd have been extensively involved in supply of goods and services to the Department of Social Development for a number of years. EDS Projects Engineering (Pty) Ltd was created to focus on engineering development solutions for the upliftment of living conditions across the nation.

Our Vision

To become the leading solution provider in the water infrastructure / waste water treatment sector through sound and professional project management and utilisation of qualified and accredited resources and environmentally sustainable technologies.

Mission Statement

With over 80 years of combined experience in the water infrastructure / waste water treatment sector we are able to provide a complete solution to Municipalities and stakeholders from inception to hand over. We see our role to uplift the living standards of all citizens through efficient and creative solutions in the water sector. Wherever pos-sible we will create job opportunities in the local communities we service.

Our Expertise

Our expertise in the water sector includes waste water treatment, dam and river rehabilitation, borehole projects, water treatment, water reticulation and infrastructure development.

Example of Technology
- Our waste water treatment technology uses a natural oxidation ponding system that is very cost effective to build, operate and maintain.
- The system is gravity operated wherever possible through simple settlement tanks, bio-filtration/oxygenation and final treatment ponding utilising highly effective floating Vetiver wetland plants which absorb high quantities of nitrates and phosphates.
- This non-mechanised method for waste water treatment has many advantages including reduced capital costs, operating and maintenance costs and does not require highly qualified engineers/technicians for op-erating the plant successfully.
- Dramatically reduced power consumption due to the non-mechanised nature is the reason why these natural solutions are being adopted globally.

EDSP is able to provide small to medium scale treatment plants that can be located within the community vicinity.

Advantages include

- Avoid expensive and problematic pumping stations.
- Decreased sewer network requirements with uncomplicated gravity sewer network.
- Avoid overloading existing treatment plants that are currently over capacity.
- Treated waste water can be used for agriculture and fish farming
- Simpler and more cost-effective O & M requirements versus the mega-treatment plants.
- Efficient Biological treatment operations compared to current complicated and expensive mechanical systems
- Less complex management requirements,
- Job creation opportunities within the community.
- Increased water opportunities within the communities i.e. sports fields & food security.
- Modular design, making future expansion simpler.
- Reduced effluent throughput making treatment simpler.
- Reduced Capital and Operation and Maintenance costs.

Offer of Services

To avoid repeating the mistakes of the past of simply re-implementing mechanised technologies, EDS Projects (Pty) Ltd needs to be appointed in any municipal Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW’s) rehabilitation and/or new build project from the outset, namely to carry out the following scope of works from start to finish as follows:

1. Assess the current WWTW’s status and implement intervention measures to ensure a safer effluent dis-charge on a short-term basis.

2. Redesign the WWTW’s to enable a natural oxidation ponding system to eradicate mechanisation as far as possible. Complete to final design stage and project costing.

3. Project Management of contractors appointed to complete the site-works as per the EDS Projects Design Specifications.

4. The EDS system will vastly reduce, if not eliminate the current high electrical consumption of these WWTW’s entirely. The aim is to operate the EDS WWTW’s system off-the-grid entirely. This will be made possible by utilising PV Solar generated power to provide the reduced power requirements, where applica-ble. This will enable huge savings on electrical demand and costs.

5. EDS Projects proposes that these projects are carried out on a Build, Operate, Maintain and Transfer (BOMT) basis, to ensure proper training and handover.

6. The extended handover / maintenance period is also required to implement and manage collaborative revenue generation opportunities / projects for local organisations from the use of the floating wetlands on the polishing ponds. These plants are able to be harvested and the byproducts carry a financial value.
