Reliable access to clean, safe water is essential in any medical environment, from patient care and sterilisation to general facility operations. At a Medical Facility in Pretoria, the dependency on a consistent water supply is especially critical due to high daily consumption and the need for uninterrupted clinical services.
To support the hospital’s operational resilience, iWater Management delivered a complete, healthcare-focused water-management solution, ensuring sustainable supply, full compliance with national standards, and long-term system reliability.
Borehole Drilling for Independent, Reliable Water Supply
One of the core elements of this project was drilling a dedicated borehole, giving the Medical Facility in Pretoria an independent and reliable source of water. In a healthcare setting, this independence is crucial as it provides resilience during municipal outages, high-demand periods, or emergency events. The borehole now supports essential hospital processes such as medical procedures and sterilisation, hygiene and sanitation requirements, patient-care operations, and general facility use, ensuring the clinic can operate without interruption.
SANS 10299 & SANS 241-Aligned Water Treatment
Healthcare environments rely on water that meets exceptionally strict safety and performance standards. To achieve this, we implemented a treatment system designed in full accordance with SANS 10299 guidelines for water-treatment system design and operation, as well as SANS 241 requirements for national drinking-water quality.
This upgraded infrastructure effectively treats both borehole and municipal supply, delivering consistently high-quality, contaminant-free water suitable for medical applications and safe potable use throughout the hospital.
Geological Mapping & Ground Study for Sustainable Extraction
Before drilling, our geological specialists completed an in-depth ground study and geological mapping of the site. This comprehensive assessment helped us identify the most productive drilling point, evaluate aquifer capacity and recharge potential, minimise environmental impact, and plan extraction rates for long-term sustainability. Through this analysis, we ensured that the borehole would provide a safe, dependable, and sustainable water yield for years to come.
Outcome: A Secure, Sustainable Water System for Healthcare Operations
With the new infrastructure in place, the Medical Facility in Pretoria now benefits from a robust, secure, and fully compliant water-management system. Key results include:
- Independent water supply supporting uninterrupted operations
- High-quality, safe water for patients, staff, and clinical processes
- Long-term sustainability through scientifically guided drilling
- Reduced reliance on municipal supply
Greater resilience during outages, emergencies, and peak-use periods.
Strengthening Healthcare Reliability Through Smarter Water Management
This Medical Facility in Pretoria is now better equipped to maintain uninterrupted patient care and uphold critical hygiene standards, even during water-supply instability. Through borehole development, SANS-compliant treatment, and detailed geological planning, we’ve delivered a healthcare-ready water solution built for reliability, safety, and sustainability.
