Consulting Engineering: Pedestrian & Public Transport Facilities

The South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (SANRAL) has issued tender C004-086-2022-1F for consulting engineering services covering the design and construction supervision of pedestrian and public transport facilities, together with road safety improvements, on National Route 2, Section 22X, spanning approximately 20 kilometres from km 0.00 to km 20.00. The assignment falls under the professional, scientific and technical services category and is intended to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and public transport users along a major national route.

The scope is expected to include preliminary and detailed design of pedestrian walkways, crossings, public transport embayments and associated infrastructure, as well as road safety interventions such as traffic calming, signage, markings, lighting and access management where required. Consultants will also be responsible for construction supervision, which typically encompasses contract administration, quality control and inspection, progress monitoring, and certification of works in line with SANRAL standards and the South African Road Design Manuals (SARDM) and applicable SANS specifications. Detailed requirements, deliverables, evaluation criteria and the specific professional registrations and experience thresholds should be confirmed in the tender documents.

The project offers value by enhancing pedestrian safety, reducing road crash risk, and supporting public transport access along a strategic national corridor.
