Abstrait:

The Brandvlei correctional farm currently houses approximately 4500 inmates, administrators an wardens. The Facility is unique in that all of its potable water is sourced directly from the natural, free-flowing hot spring from which it gets its name.

Previously however, an enormous amount of electrical energy was being wasted by the re-heating of cold water for end-use in the Facility’s calorifiers and geysers.

In 2004 it was finally proposed that an independent hot water reticulation system be installed feed the 64°C hot spring water directly into all of the existing correctional facilities.

This project is therefore a prime example of how engineering ingenuity can be used to sustainabl bring progress, nature and people together.
