Transnet SOC Ltd, through Transnet Pipelines, is inviting tenders for the provision of civil and structural maintenance services across multiple operational depots in the South B Region on an as-and-when basis for a period of five years.

The scope covers the planned and reactive maintenance of civil and structural assets, including buildings and carports, fencing and gates, cable ducts and manholes, oily water and sewer systems, potable water systems, pavements, tank farms and manifold areas, spill basins and separators, and structural elements such as plinths, supports, stairs and railings. Typical tasks include concrete repairs, waterproofing, roof and gutter repairs, metal and concrete roof replacement, joint sealing, painting and coating, plumbing and drainage repairs, brickwork and plastering, and road pothole patching. The contractor must supply labour, supervision, materials, plant, equipment, PPE, transport and testing equipment with valid calibration certificates.
