In preparation for the Cape’s stormy winter season, the City’s Disaster Risk Management Centre has received a donation of a 600 meter hawser rope for flood reduction from PETROSA(Petroleum Oil & Gas Corporation of South Africa)
The hawser rope will be used to alleviate the effects of flooding and storm damage the same way sandbags are used.
In a statement the Centre says this will be an “experimental joint venture by the City and PETROSA to explore optimal utilization of this product particularly in the informal settlements situated in flood-prone areas across the metropole”.
The hawser rope will be handed over to Disaster Risk Management today at a warehouse in Ndabeni.
