CTS was instructed to supply, deliver, install, test and commission laundry equipment for the Mine Complex Change House, Plant Complex Change House and the FPR Change House at the Husab Mine in 2015.

The Husab mine has to process nearly 2 000 overalls and towels on a daily basis. Emphasis was made on equipment that is energy efficient, safe to operate and cost effective to maintain.

Miele equipment fulfills every requirement when it comes to the economical processing of large amounts of laundry. Miele’s tried and tested programs ensure the correct washing process for every type of material. The tumble driers complement the washer extractors and are highly economical, thanks to short running times. Thus you have a perfect solution to process large amounts of laundry, fast, hygienically and economically.

CTS installed washer extractors fitted with water recovery units and heat pump tumble driers. Laundry-care requirements vary significantly according to the customer’s needs. Whichever your requirement, CTS can offer you the ideal solution.

Ministry of Agriculture through, through SASSCAL funding, did acquire 3 automatic weather stations in 2018 which where finally installed in 2019 after sites have been determined. These stations from part of the existing SASSCAL weather station network that has been established over the past years. All stations conform to SASSCAL requirements and are inline with WMO standards.

The stations are installed at :

• Dudukabe (Zambezi)
• Okalongo (Ohangwena)
• Omafo (Ohangwena)

A 71kW grid tied (Nampower ) PV system was installed at the Klein-Aus Vista Lodge just outside Aus. Remote Monitoring and Energy meter is included to obtain precise information about own consumption as well as exported power. This aids in future electrical reticulation upgrades and designs.

System Specifications are:

• 240 x 295W Canadian Solar PV modules
•  3 x Fronius Symo 20.0 – 3 Grid Inverter
• Shed roof mounting with structure for IBR roof sheeting
• AC & DC surge and Lightning protection
• Configured for remote monitoring

CTS was awarded the first ever containerized off-grid solar electrification tender for the Ministry of Mines and Energy beginning of 2013. This project entailed:

• Upgrading of all government building wiring as per national standard for 9 sites in the Omusati region
• Manufacture, supply and install container power units for these sites.

The power containers consisted of ca 2.8kW of PV modules installed on the roof as well as 3,000 to 4,500 Ah of battery capacity depending on site requirements. Five KVA inverter charger and two 70A Blue Solar Charge regulator all from Victron Energy complete the system.

With a total of nine containers, school, hostels and other government buildings were electrified. Each container was subdivided into two rooms for batteries and inverter technology respectively.

With our 36T/m crane truck CTS was able to transport the container to site, navigating through thick sand with ease.

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.

National Botanical Research institute approached CTS to upgrade two of their existing AWS to satellite communication and subsequent installation at Kanovlei in the Tsumkwe Area as well as Koichab Pan close to Lüderitz.

Communication is via Meteosat satellites and based on a “fire and forget” principal which unfortunately does not allow remote maintenance procedures.

The stations form part of the SASSCAL Weathernet and measure all important meteorological parameters.
