Savanna Tanks was approached to design and construct a bolt-on modular steel water tank for the gold mining project in Namibia. Given the importance of reliable water storage in mining operations, the project required a highly durable and precision-engineered solution to ensure a consistent water supply for processing and operational needs.
One of the standout features of this project was its rigorous quality control process (QCP), which mandated hydrostatic water testing at the factory before the tank was shipped to the site. This level of compliance demonstrates Savanna Tanks' commitment to delivering superior products that meet or exceed industry expectations.
Although this was a relatively small project in scale, Savanna Tanks believes that every project, regardless of size, deserves the highest level of engineering excellence and execution. By successfully completing this installation, Savanna Tanks has once again proven its ability to adapt to client needs while maintaining the highest industry standards.
The Similarities Between Botswana and Namibia in Manufacturing & Dependence on South Africa
Namibia and Botswana share many similarities in terms of their industrial and manufacturing landscapes. Both countries have historically been dependent on South African suppliers for industrial components, construction materials, and infrastructure development. However, this reliance has created challenges, including longer lead times, higher costs, and a lack of localized expertise.
By being based in Botswana, Savanna Tanks is strategically positioned to serve the Namibian market with shorter delivery times, reduced logistics costs, and improved service levels compared to South African-based competitors. The successful completion of this water tank project in Namibia underscores a larger trend: Botswana-based manufacturers like Savanna Tanks are becoming more self-reliant and less dependent on South Africa, strengthening regional supply chains and creating competitive advantages for both countries.
