The Pipeline As Ral Appoints 41 Consulting Engineers

Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) has for the financial year 2022/ 2023, appointed 41 consulting engineers for the upgrade of several roads from gravel to tar across the five districts of the Limpopo Province.

In a clear acknowledgement of the important role played by the road infrastructure in the development of the Province’s economy, RAL appointed expert consulting engineers to proactively work on the designs for the upgrade of some of the critical roads in the predominantly rural province of Limpopo. The province is currently responsible for the planning, control, construction, management and maintenance of over 20 000km of roads. Out of this number, only about 6000km is tarred and the rest are gravel or dirt.

Consulting engineers carry out one of the most important tasks in road construction through the compilation of industry-standard designs that guide the actual project implementation stage. RAL has identified several roads in the province earmarked for upgrading with their designs expected to be completed within a period of 12 months from the day of commencement.
