2 STUDY AREA De Zicht is a 9.65ha residential development on Erf 36555 & Erf 2 and is located north of the existing Richwood suburb situated adjacent to the N7 highway in Milnerton. The site is bounded by: West – N7 (National Road), which is a dual carriage highway through
Milnerton suburb linking Cape Town to towns along the West Coast and Northern Cape.
East – Warren Way, a local road along the site boundary. South – The residential suburb of Richwood, Milnerton North – The future road reserve for extending Blaauwberg Road in Table
View, across the N7 and linking it with roads heading to Durbanville suburb. The first phase known as Phase ‘A’, De Zicht has been approved for development on 25 July 2017. The approved Site Development Plan permits the construction of 4 storey apartment blocks on 1.95ha of land located along the northern boundary of the site. Phase ‘A’ will accommodate 180 apartment units with a parking provision of 242 bays. (Refer to Diagram 2: Site Locality Plan on page 4)
Based on the available information, the following site characteristics are summarised: The site slopes from east & northeast, towards west & southwest and has an
average gradient of 3.5%
The existing site is fully serviced with utilities and roads to accommodate the previous site plan consisting of single residential, semi-detached and group housing units.
The redevelopment of the site will as far as possible utilise the existing services
to accommodate the new site development proposal. The site consists of sandy soils up to 1 meter below natural ground level and
becomes clayey sand the deeper the excavation (Between 1.2 to 2.7m deep) Uncontrolled surface fill has occurred over the site, which is moderately
compressible and contains waste or rubble. This material is unsuitable for construction use or founding purposes.
The geotechnical investigation found residual shale soils consisting of stiff to
very stiff clayey silt up to 2.7m deep.
Perched ground water was not encountered in any excavated areas but can be anticipated within the sandy soil layer during winter months for excavations within 1m to 2m in depth.
External stormwater catchment areas discharge onto the De Zicht site and need to be accommodated or redirected around the site.
The site development proposal allows for 73 four storey apartment blocks,
consisting of 12 units per block with the developed site totalling 876 units. The development of the site proposes the construction of apartment blocks in
10 phases. Phase ‘A’, De Zicht encompasses Phases 1 and 2 of the development.
Refer to the existing site plan for existing service locations.
(Refer to Diagram 4a: Existing Site Service Layout on page 8)
4.1 EXISITNG STORMWATER Stormwater runoff from the site accumulates within the existing internal road network provided with kerbs, channels and stormwater catchpits. The following is to be noted: The existing site’s pipe system is sized to accommodate the previous
development runoff for storms up to 1:2 year RI. (Aurecon, 2010)
The road network has a localised low point located in the north western
corner of the site and is provided with a bulk stormwater catchpit sized to intake up to 1:50 year RI. (Aurecon, 2010)
All stormwater is routed within a 1200 x 900 box culvert that crosses the future road reserve, north, and discharges into a wet extended detention pond constructed with a clay lining to encourage permanent pooling. (Aurecon, 2010)
The subdivided Erf 36555 is provided with a stormwater pipe network
consisting of various sizes ranging from ø300mm to ø525mm. (Aurecon, 2010)
The stormwater runoff linked to the road network is routed to a regional
detention facility sized to accommodate the following stormwater requirements: - Water Quality Volume (WQV) = 5040m³ - Extended detention over a 24hr period to satisfy channel protection
volume (CPV) - The permanent pooling in the pond = up to 1.5m depth before
discharging at the outlet headwall (Aurecon, 2010)
The existing site As-builts are available on request.
4.2 EXISTING SEWER
The subdivided Erf 36555 is provided with an ø160mm sewer pipe network complete with erf connections and discharges into an ø200mm bulk sewer main at the north western corner of the site. The bulk sewer is routed to the existing municipal sewer pump station located North West of the site and pumps in a south westerly direction to the Potsdam Wastewater Treatment Works within an ø350mm sewer rising main at the western site boundary. Refer to Diagram 4a on page 8.
4.3 EXISTING WATER Along existing internal roads, an ø160mm uPVC watermain loops from the adjacent Richwood suburb and ties in to an ø400mm ductile watermain along Carmine Drive as an ø200mm pipe. The ø160mm pipes as well as ø110mm link pipes complete with water erf connections service the subdivided Erf 36555. An ø450mm bulk watermain traverses the site and is the supply line for the Du Noon and Killarney Gardens development areas. Refer to Diagram 4a on page 8.
4.4 EXISTING ROADS AND ACCESS
An existing two-way road known as Carmine Drive intersects off Tygerberg Valley Road and provides an access route to the subdivided Erf 36555. Two-way link roads also enter the site from the south as extension roads from the Richwood residential suburb. The existing roads extend Abalone Street (to the east) and Oyster Street (to the west). Refer to Diagram 4a on page 8.
4.5 BULK SERVICE CONNECTIONS AND RELOCATION
The development of De Zicht, Milnerton will make use of existing service connections and where possible incorporate the existing pipe reticulations as part of the redevelopment of the site. For Phase ‘A’, De Zicht the following service construction is proposed, while the existing ø450mm bulk watermain is relocated around the proposed development. (Refer to Diagram 4b: Phase ‘A’ De Zicht Services Plan on page 10) For the full development of the site, the following existing services are retained and relocated for the further development of De Zicht. (Refer to Diagram 4c: Bulk Service Connections & Relocation on page 11)

5 PROPOSED STORMWATER
5.1 PRE-DEVELOPMENT RUNOFF The runoff for the pre-developed site was calculated by using the following hydrological and hydraulic parameters: Stormwater modelling: EPA-SWMM version 5 Build 5.0.021
Design storms: City’s Design Rainfall Depth Grid
At grid position 33°50’ Latitude; 18°33’ Longitude (closest position to De Zicht)
Design storms of 1:½ (interpolated), 1:1(interpolated), 1:2, 1:5, 1:10, 1:20, 1:50 and 1:100 year return intervals (RI) was simulated by using a SCS Type-1 storm over 24hrs having a rainfall depth of 20mm (interpolated), 27mm (interpolated), 47mm, 63mm, 75mm, 87mm, 104mm and 118mm respectively.
Soil Infiltration Method: Green-Ampt assuming a soil texture class of sandy loam based on the geotechnical study’s description of sandy material across the site.
Routing method: Dynamic Wave as per EPA-SWMM modelling
The catchment areas and names are based on the Proposed Stormwater Drainage Configuration in Diagram 5a for existing site conditions prior to the roads and services installed as described in Section 3 of this report. Note that Richwood development does not drain towards the site and is not to be accommodated. (Refer to Diagram ‘5a’: Proposed Stormwater Drainage Configuration on page 13) The pre-development stormwater modelling results are provided in Table 5a. (Refer to Table ‘5a’: Pre-Development Stormwater Modelling Results on page 14)
5.2 POST DEVELOPMENT RUNOFF
The runoff for the post-developed site was calculated by altering the catchment parameters to include for the construction of apartment blocks and surfacing of previously natural ground covered areas. The impervious areas consist of proposed building footprints, proposed road and parking areas. The percentage impervious area per catchment is provided with post development results.
The un-attenuated Post development stormwater modelling results are provided in Table 5b.
(Refer to Table ‘5b’: Post Development Stormwater Modelling Results on page 15)
5.3 MINOR SYSTEM In order to satisfy the City of Cape Town policy for the Management of Urban Stormwater Impacts (COCT, 2009), the proposed stormwater system for the De Zicht development achieves the following: The underground stormwater system is designed to accommodate the more
frequent storms up to 1:5 year RI. The developed site runoff is conveyed along internal roads and parking
channels and is discharged in catchpits.
The stormwater captured is routed via underground pipes to new stormwater ponds constructed in available open spaces.
Runoff quality management controls are provided in the form of:
- Stormwater ponds - Enhanced swales - Bio-retention areas
(Refer to Diagram ‘5d’: Typical Stormwater pond on page 19,
Diagram ‘5e’: Typical Enhanced swale on page 20, Diagram ‘5f’: Typical Bio-retention area on page 21)
Refer to Diagram 5a on page 13 for proposed positions of runoff quality management controls.
The above-mentioned controls (performance based application) is sized to reduce pollutant loads in a 1:½ year RI to the following:
- 80% of Suspended Solids (SS), - 45% of Total Phosphorus (TP).
(Refer to Table ‘5c’: Water Quality Volume Treatment on page 18) Proposed catchpits is also constructed to function as sediment traps for the
accumulation and removal of sediments and litter.
The treatment of post-development runoff for a 1:½ year RI storm is provided within a treatment train diagram. The treatment performance of the controls provided is detailed in Table ‘5c’ on page 18
17
5.4 MAJOR SYSTEM The road network is utilised for the drainage of excess runoff not entering the
underground system.
The development of De Zicht allows for overland stormwater to be channelled along the internal road network and discharges into the provided stormwater management facility such as ponds and bio-retention areas.
The road network makes allowance for stormwater runoff in excess of 1:5
year RI.
The bio-retention areas and stormwater ponds are designed to manage the developed site’s runoff and discharge the pre-development flows to existing stormwater systems.
The anticipated discharge from these bio-retention areas and stormwater ponds during various RI storms is provided.
(Refer to Table ‘5g’: Proposed Bio-retention and Stormwater pond Modelling Results on page 22)
Based on discussions held with City officials from Catchment Management &
District Roads & Stormwater, further investigation will be undertaken to clarify outfalls from existing stormwater systems to the existing receiving water body (Diep River). This information will be presented at detail design stage to inform the City of bulk stormwater routing and outfall capacities.
(Refer to Diagram ‘5h’: Existing Bulk Stormwater Outfall Route on page 23)
Upstream stormwater flowing along Sylvia Street and Warren Way is to be
redirected into a new stormwater pipe system that discharges into the Blaauwberg Road reserve and managed in future as part of the Blaauwberg Road Extension construction. Refer to Diagram 5a on page 13 for proposed external stormwater routing.
The overland stormwater will be forced along Warren Way’s kerbs and channels and discharge into a bulk inlet to Blaauwberg Road reserve. The outfall pipe has been sized to accommodate up to 1:100 year RI runoff.
All Additional Data requested by Catchment & Stormwater Management will be presented as an addendum to this report.

6 PROPOSED SEWER The internal sewer reticulation is provided: To optimum pipe gradients to ensure a self-cleansing system and reduce the
maintenance on the system. To be water tight through using precast sewer manholes with pre-
manufactured pipe connections to inverts to reduce stormwater ingress into the system.
To accommodate peak sewer flows.
6.1 ASSUMPTIONS FOR SEWER MODELLING The internal sewer is modelled on the following assumptions: The minimum design standards of the City of Cape Town is maintained
The Harmon Peak Factor method is used for design flow calculations The maximum pipe capacity equals 80% of the full bore flow
A minimum velocity of 0.7 m/s is achieved
Each unit contributes the following:
- 360 l/unit/day for 1 bed units (No of calculated 73 x 8 = 584) - 480 l/unit/day for 2 bed units (No of calculated 73 x 2 = 146) - 720 l/unit/day for 3 bed units (No of calculated 73 x 2 = 146)
(Assuming 80% of water usage as per COCT Water Tariff Policy)
3 contributors per dwelling unit.
876 dwelling units for the completed site development.
6.2 SEWER MODELLING RESULTS The sewer calculation results are as follows: AADF = 385 440 l/d Estimated population = 2628 Harmon Peak factor = 3.491 PWWF = 15.574 l/s
Refer to Diagram 6 on page 25 for the positions of the development’s sewer reticulation.

6.3 SEWER PROPOSAL Based on the results of the Sewer Model the following recommendations are made: Portions of the existing sewer reticulation pipework will be retained for the
service provision of the development.
New ø160mm & ø200mm sewer pipes will be installed and tie-in to existing pipe work.
The private sewer reticulation will tie-in to the existing ø200mm sewer outfall
and discharge into the existing sewer pump station currently switch off (no incoming sewerage).
Based on discussions held with City officials from District Water & Sanitation,
the existing sewer pump station will be recommissioned when required. The electrical supply to the pump station will be reconnected to an Eskom
supply point and is to be metered for the City’s account. It was agreed with City officials that the existing sewer service connections,
located upstream of the site, will not be accommodated within the site’s proposed reticulation.
Future sewer routes for the upstream property will form part of the Annandale
farm development. Refer to Diagram 6 on page 25 for future sewer route proposal for the upstream property.

7 WATER The internal water reticulation is provided to achieve the required fire flow conditions as guided by the “Guidelines for Provision of Engineering Services and Amenities in Residential Developments” as published by the CSIR.
7.1 ASSUMPTIONS FOR WATER MODELLING The proposed water reticulation will be designed to accommodate the following: Domestic Water Demand Fire Water Demand
7.1.1 DOMESTIC WATER DEMAND
The proposed water model (domestic) is designed on:
A maximum water head of 90m (under zero flow conditions)
A minimum water head of 38m (under instantaneous peak demand)
(based on pipe depth of 1.2m, building height of 12m and working pressure of 24m)
An Average Annual Water Demand (AAWD) for the following:
- 450 l/unit/day for 1 bed units (No of calculated 73 x 8 = 584) - 600 l/unit/day for 2 bed units (No of calculated 73 x 2 = 146) - 900 l/unit/day for 3 bed units (No of calculated 73 x 2 = 146)
(Assuming that the residential area demands between 450 – 900 l/unit/day)
Pipe sizes of ø110mm and ø160mm
876 dwelling units on completed site development. 7.1.2 FIRE WATER DEMAND
At detail design stage the water reticulation for the development will be reviewed to confirm the service for fire flow conditions. The following fire flow conditions will be evaluated: Fire Risk Category = low to moderate
(Based on discussions with fire protection consultants) Minimum fire flow demand = 6000 l/min
Fire flow duration = 4 hrs
Maximum hydrant spacing = 180m
Minimum hydrant flow rate = 1500 l/min (25l/s) with residual head of 15m
A fire condition with hydrants in a 270m radius discharging simultaneously.
28
7.2 WATER MODELLING RESULTS The domestic water calculation results are as follows: AADD = 481 800 l/d Number of Equivalent Erven (ee) = 481
(Based on equivalent erven equating 1000 l/day) Instantaneous PF = 6.10 (based on the ee) Peak Domestic Water Demand = 34.02 l/s (instantaneous flow) Optimum Water Velocity = 0.6 to 1.2 m/s
7.3 WATER PROPOSAL Based on the results of the Water Model the following recommendations are made: One municipal connection is to be made into the development The existing ø450mm bulk water main traversing the site is to be relocated
along the future road reserve of Carmine Drive and Blaauwberg Road Extension.
The existing water reticulation will be altered to provide a water connection
point at the site’s main entrance gate. Based on discussions held with City officials from District Water & Sanitation,
the existing ø400mm ductile iron bulk watermain is to be provided with a pressure reducing valve, if required. This will be clarified at detail design stage.
The existing ø160mm water mains currently connected to Richwood development is to be end capped (removed).
Pipe sizes range from ø110mm to ø160mm will supply the development.
Refer to Diagram 6 on page 25 for the position of the development’s water reticulation.
