Aveng Grinaker-LTA’s Building division has been awarded a contract by Heineken South Africa for Project Harvest phases one and two at their Sedibeng Brewery in Midvaal, Gauteng.
The scope of work for the first phase of the contract entails the civil and concrete rafts for the yeast plant, cider base tank (CBT) and bright beer tank (BBT). Phase two requires the completion of the yeast propagation plant, CBT, BBT, flavour room, as well as the cold and dry storages. The project includes the expansion of the cider production facilities by extending the existing facilities for cider processing and manufacturing with new cider base tanks and the construction of a flavouring plant with cold storage facilities, dissolved sugar tanks with dry storage facilities, a yeast propagation plant and bright beer tanks.
Chris Botha, managing director of Aveng Grinaker-LTA, says: “The expansion of the Sedibeng Brewery plant is in line with Heineken South Africa’s strategic optimisation for planning, networking and operations, and must be executed with minimum impact to current service levels at the plant. We are confident we can deliver to this requirement.”
The first phase of the project will take two months to complete. The expected duration for the second phase of the project is four and a half months.
