Update: Power Restoration at Brakfontein Substation
Cllr Frans Boshielo
ActionSA MMC for Utility Services
The Energy and Electricity Department is working tirelessly to restore power as soon as possible. Due to the severity of the fire damage our team is utilising specialised cleaning methods including dry ice cleaning to remove carbon residue. Whilst removing carbon at the Substation we are compliant with the OHS Act no 85 of 1993 in protection of our team and all visitors entering the Substation.
This meticulous process continued throughout the night allowing us to assess the full extent of the damage once the carbon is removed. Subsequent tests will be conducted on the equipment to determine the nature and extent of the damage.
The MMC for Utility Services appreciates your continued patience and understanding. Further updates will be provided later today.
Once more let me not forget to appreciate great work that our team is doing at the Substation since the fire incident two nights ago. We are committed to deliver quality service at all times.
