CTS was awarded the tender in February 2010 for Okankolo Health Centre’s laundry.

The scope of the work included the supply, manufacture and assembly, delivery to site, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of laundry equipment.

Health Centers have to ensure that their laundry is hygienically clean. Our washing machines have a special sluicing program, which is ideal for blood stained linen and operation gowns. After the sluicing program, washing resumes as normal at higher temperatures, ensuring that all bacteria are destroyed, leaving laundry clean and safe to be used again. Our washers can be equipped with a second drain valve to recycle drain water, making them environmentally friendly.

Using roller ironers further sterilizes the linen; ensuring optimum care is taken for patients as well as Health Center staff.

Central Technical Supplies was approached by the University of Stellenbosch to take part in a tender to supply a solar resource measurement station to the Namibia University of Science and Technology in Windhoek.

We were successful in winning the tender. The station is based on the Kipp and Zonen Solys 2 sun tracker with CMP 10 Pyranometer and CHP1 Pyrheliometer.

The station is based on the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific and measures wind speed and direction as well as ambient temperature, humidity and rain in addition to the solar resource data.

Various small off-grid PV systems, also referred to SHS (Solar Home Systems) have been supplied country wide. These systems are typically based on small high efficiency lithium ion batteries as storage solution and Victron components such as solar charge regulator, inverter and monitoring devices.

The University of Hamburg approached CTS directly with the request to quote and subsequently manufacture and install 3 automatic weather stations at:

• Khorixas
• Kaoko Otavi
• Okangwati

Once again, satellite communication has been chosen, this time not because of GSM not being available, but to reduce future cost of the stations as satellite communication for these stations has got no costs associated.

In addition to the basic data measured:

• Wind speed
• Wind direction
• Humidity
• Air Temperature
• Irradiance
• Barometric pressure
• Ground Temperature
• Rain
• Leaf wetness

The stations are equipped with a WLAN interface. This allows the connection of 49″ SmartTV to be connected to each station to display the current weather inside close by offices.

This paradise in the Damaraland is a popular tourist destination. Being located in a remote area, they demanded reliable machines, with the highest quality, that are also versatile. Miele machines are able to tackle everyday laundry problems – safely, conveniently and economically.

With the many years of experience, CTS provided Palmwag Lodge with a complete solution. We know that reliability is a key requirement, to ensure trouble free working, while maintaining the highest of standards. CTS, the ideal solution to any situation.

DeBeers Namibia published a tender for the supply and installation of a weather monitoring system at the Oranjemund Airport. CTS was awarded the tender based on price, knowledge of the meteorological measuring equipment as well as quality of products. At time of installation the station was the most advanced aviation weather station in Namibia.

Technical Details of the system installed:

• Ceilometer at end of runway 20 to measure cloud height at three levels up to 7,500m
• Runway Visibility and Present Weather sensor at stop end of runway 20.
• Present weather sensor monitors 7 different types of precipitation
• visibility sensor takes background luminescence into account
• Wind speed and direction a touchdown runway 20.
• Wind speed and direction, rain as well as barometric pressure at stop end runway 20
• AviMet server for processing of all data
• 3 workstations spread along the buildings for weather monitoring and supervision purposes
• ATIS voice system transmitting on aviation frequency as well as telephone dial in the current weather conditions

All communication between the equipment and the AviMet server is based on wireless transmission to reduce cabling costs.

The weather information can be picked up rough 100 NM away from the airport by all approaching aircraft.
