It does this through the mandate of the Geoscience Act, which includes the following activities: 1.1. To systematically document and compile the geology of the earth’s surface and continental crust, including offshore areas within the territory of South Africa. 1.2. To compile geoscience data, especially geological, geophysical, metallogenic and engineering geological information in the form of maps and accompanying explanations and to make this information available to the public. 1.3. To do basic geoscience research into the nature and origin of rocks, ores, minerals and the history and evolution of life and to understand the geological evolution of the earth. These findings are published in peer reviewed geoscience publications nationally and internationally. 1.4. To collect and curate all geoscience knowledge for the country into the National Geoscience Repository and make such information available to the public. 1.5.

PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) The CGS would like to appoint a panel of contractors to undertake the implementation and construction of ingress control measures for a period of three years as and when required. The required services relates, in the main, with construction of civil engineering measures to prevent water ingress into the old underground mine voids within the Witwatersrand goldfields. A number of projects have been identified for implementation over several financial years. The required services will be requested for each project from this panel through a brief RFQ process in which project specific information will be provided to the bidders including scope of work and Bill of Quantities. 3.1. Employer’s Objectives The main objective of the Employer is to prevent water ingress into underground mine voids by implementing civil engineering solutions to reduce the volume of surface water entering the underground mine voids in the Witwatersrand Mining Basin, and to propose the best management solutions to reduce dependency on pumping to manage the flooding of mine voids and spillage to the surface (decant). 3.2. General Descriptions of the Project Area The Witwatersrand Gold Fields of South Africa is facing a serious challenge of Mine Water Management. The issue of water ingress into old mine workings poses significant environmental challenges, primarily due to pollutants associated with mining activities. Acid mine drainage is one of the key issues associated with former mining sites. Acid Mine Drainage typically results from the oxidation of sulfide minerals, particularly pyrite, which leads to the production of sulfuric acid when exposed to water and air. Mining houses previously constructed canals in some areas of the Witwatersrand, by and large, to prevent water ingress into their underground mine workings. In the past, these canals were very effective but have been left in a state of disrepair since all underground mining has ceased of 48 CGS-TEM-2025-0839 Rev0 Effective date: 30/11/2025 Council for Geoscience Request for Proposal Appointment of a panel of contractors to undertake the implementation and construction of ingress control Proposal No. CGS-2026-039F measures for a period of three years as and when required. in the main goldfields of the Witwatersrand.
