Sulzer Pumps South Africa will project manage, manufacture, and test the pumps in its Johannesburg facility ensuring the highest possible project value is retained within South Africa. The pumps will be delivered in phases beginning in late 2009 to match the building of the six individual 798.3 megawatt power generating blocks that make up the station’s capacity. Final deliveries will be in mid 2011.

The Johannesburg facility is fully equipped to engineer and manufacture a wide range of pumps to serve these markets. As part of a network of 14 Sulzer Pumps factories world wide, the facility is able to draw on the considerable resources of its sister plants if required.
