Geotechnical Services for Storm-Damaged Schools

The South African government is inviting tenders for geotechnical professional services as part of the Storm Damaged Schools Programme. This initiative focuses on Maragane Primary School and Sethwethwa Secondary School, which have suffered structural damage due to recent storms. The selected contractor will be responsible for conducting thorough geotechnical investigations, assessing soil stability, and providing recommendations for repairs and reinforcements to ensure the safety and longevity of the school buildings.

The scope of work includes site investigations, soil sampling, laboratory testing, and the preparation of detailed reports outlining findings and suggested remediation strategies. The successful bidder will need to demonstrate expertise in geotechnical engineering, particularly in relation to educational facilities, and must comply with all relevant safety and regulatory standards. This project is crucial for restoring educational services in the affected areas and ensuring a safe learning environment for students.

By participating in this tender, firms will contribute to the rehabilitation of critical infrastructure while also gaining valuable experience in public sector projects. The anticipated timeline for project completion is within the fiscal year, with a closing date for submissions set for September 23, 2025. Interested parties are encouraged to review the tender documents thoroughly to prepare competitive proposals.
