Project Description
ADC was tasked with the Project Management of an EDM/Kuvaninga network integration project.
This project entailed the interconnection of the 40MW Kuvaninga Power Facility to the network consisting of a 7 km double circuit 110kV transmission line from the Kuvaninga facility to the Lionde substation in Chokwe. Included in the project, was the addition of a 110kV line feeder bay at the existing Lionde substation, which included a new control, protection and communication system.
At the Kuvaninga facility a 110/11kV substation was designed, constructed and commissioned to facilitate the two 110kV transmission lines to Lionde Substation and Mapai respectively as well as the 55MVA main transformer that is fed from the Kuvaninga Power Station.

The Kelvin power station is situated in Johannesburg and was constructed in 1957, making it one of the oldest coal fired power stations in South Africa. The original capacity of this facility was 600MW but with the shutdown of a portion of the plant in 2012, it currently has a capacity of approximately 300MW.
ADC was approached by an international Company to conduct an evaluation on a 1040 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine station (CCGT), in the Middle East. As part of this evaluation process, ADC had to compile a comprehensive Due Diligence report and investment model of the power station’s business, that would comply with the requirements of international financing.
An international cement manufacturer is constructing a plant near Kimpese, in the Bas Congo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The new substation was constructed to provide power to the cement plant and will be supplied from SNEL’s Kwilu Substation with a 220kV transmission line. The distance is approximately 14 km.
