Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) has announced it is to implement a R21.7bn (US$1.3bn) infrastructure maintenance and capital expansion program across all nine of its airports.
From HVAC upgrades and terminal roof waterproofing to replacing sprinkler systems and airside enhancements, ACSA will carry out a number of terminal and roofing work projects to create a safer, more comfortable airport experience.
The organization will also refurbish its fuel systems and fire infrastructure, such as fuel receipt meters, hydrants and booster pumps, to ensure safety and reliability in critical systems.
At Johanesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport (ORTIA), a new 20in jet fuel feeder line will be installed and Jet Fuel Redundancy Phase 1 will be implemented, which is to boost reliability and supply continuity. These projects are complemented by the replacement of backup power generators at the airport to ensure uninterrupted critical operations.
