Technical Specifications
Source: Annexure B - Baseline Risk Assessment - Drilling & Grouting.pdf (unknown)The raising of Tzaneen Dam is being developed by the Department of Water and Sanitation
(DWS) through its implementation agent, Lepelle Northern Water, in tandem with the
construction of the new Nwamitwa Dam and as part of the Groot Letaba River Water
Development Project (GLeWaP) to increase the assurance of yield and to enhance the water
resources of the Groot Letaba River in serving the needs of the Mopani District of eastern
Limpopo Province
2.1 Description of the Dam
Tzaneen Dam is located on the Groot Letaba River, immediately upstream of the Town of
Tzaneen in Limpopo
The construction of Tzaneen Dam was completed in 1977 and the dam comprises a concrete
gravity spillway section flanked with zoned earthfill embankments, as illustrated on the as-
Built drawings in Volume 4. The existing spillway is an uncontrolled ogee type, with a crest
length of 91,44 m (at FSL 723,90 m), while the total dam crest length is 1 140 m.
The toe of the spillway is provided with a slotted roller bucket for energy dissipation. The
concrete section indicates a height of 47 m above riverbed level, while the maximum
embankment height is approximately 40 m. The maximum dam height above lowest
foundation is defined in the dam classification as 55 m.
Tzaneen Dam was registered in terms of the Dam Safety Legislation on 31/12/1986 and is
classified as Category III (Size = Large, Hazard Potential = High).
2.2 Dam Raising
The proposed 3 m raising will increase the gross storage of the dam from 157,3 million m3 to
193 million m3.
Baseline Risk Assessment of 31
Prepared by: F du Toit Document Number: DWS/DBSA/TZANEEN/BLRA/2023/01 Doc Status: 03
Changes to the existing dam to achieve the required increase in capacity can be defined as:
elevation of RL 726,99 m (raised 3 m);
an additional 3 m water depth; and
pattern of a labyrinth spillway.
As part of a phased approach to the implementation of the project, a number of activities have
preceded the actual raising construction contract. These include:
portion of the dam.
Also refer to the Design Report, Scope of work as per Bill of Quantities and Technical Specifications
The risk analysis considered all the tasks as described in the safe work procedures developed for this
specific operation.
The risk analysis included
a. Description of the task/system under analysis.
b. Evaluation of each risk by determining the probability of recurrence and severity of each event.
3.1 Evaluation of current and planned controls, barriers and safeguards.
3.2 A selected team of personnel were involved to conduct this on the job task analysis to
determine baseline risk assessment
a. Risks associated with each step in the operational process were considered.
b. The following factors were considered and rated in accordance with the effect it would have
on the items described below, should the event occur:
A risk level was attributed to each event in the following manner:
Low risk = 1-6
Medium risk = 7-15
High Risk = 16-25

5.2 Calculation of Risk:
Consequence: Probability = Risk Ranking (see table in risk assessment)
Activities listed in the high-risk categories must be seen as tasks requiring immediate attention. Training
will, in most instances, solve the problem satisfactorily.
An implementation plan may then be devised to address the outstanding issues. This action plan must
take cognisance of the hazards that should be eliminated concurrently.
As low as reasonably practicable. The concept of weighting the risk
against the sacrifice needed to implement the measures necessary to
ALARP avoid the risk. In health and safety, it is assumed that the measures should
be implemented unless it can be shown that the sacrifice is grossly
disproportionate to the benefit.
The outcome of an event or situation expressed qualitatively or
Consequence quantitatively, whether a loss, injury, health or environment impact, or
disadvantage, or a benefit, gain or advantage.
Control or barrier is defined as "anything used to control, prevent or
impede energy flows or the loss of control of a hazard". Types of barriers
include physical, equipment design, warning devices, procedures, work
Control or Barrier processes, knowledge and skills, and supervision. Controls impact on the
risk of the event. whether it is an opportunity or threat. It is essential to
consider controls or barriers in terms of their order of greatest
effectiveness. This order is known as the 'Hierarchy of Control'.

The following people were involved in establishing the relevant task groups and analysis.
Should the baseline assessment indicate tasks in High risk a specific task risk assessment must be
conducted. This assessment will then target the specific tasks and the hazards attached to it.
The baseline risk assessment for the Groot Letaba River Water Development: Raising of Tzaneen Dam
Project reflects the critical occupational health and safety risk scenarios and hazards associated with
the scope of activities for the Project.
The project team is confident that effective controls were identified to manage OHS risks.
The effective controls identified must be incorporated into various management systems and
processes to ensure that the controls are implemented in the field during execution.
Immediate future actions include;
Sub consultants, vendors etc.)
assessments for each of the high and critical risk scenarios identified.

concentrate efforts where it is mostly needed.
1.1 According to the Occupational Health and Safety Act , all companies must assess
where they stand in terms of risk, identifying the major risks which they are exposed to thereby
establishing their priorities and a system for future risk control. A baseline risk assessment must
be comprehensive and may well lead to further, separate and more in-depth risk assessment
studies.
1.2 The baseline risk assessment should be reviewed periodically, about every year, after every
accident/incident, change of work force or change of plant/equipment to ensure that it is still
relevant and accurate. Any other studies will need to be incorporated to achieve a
‘complete picture”.
concrete section indicates a height of 47 m above riverbed level, while the maximum
embankment height is approximately 40 m. The maximum dam height above lowest
foundation is defined in the dam classification as 55 m.
Tzaneen Dam was registered in terms of the Dam Safety Legislation on 31/12/1986 and is
classified as Category III (Size = Large, Hazard Potential = High).
2.2 Dam Raising
The proposed 3 m raising will increase the gross storage of the dam from 157,3 million m3 to
193 million m3.

b. Evaluation of each risk by determining the probability of recurrence and severity of each event.
3.1 Evaluation of current and planned controls, barriers and safeguards.
3.2 A selected team of personnel were involved to conduct this on the job task analysis to
determine baseline risk assessment
a. Risks associated with each step in the operational process were considered.
b. The following factors were considered and rated in accordance with the effect it would have
on the items described below, should the event occur:
Low risk = 1-6
Medium risk = 7-15
High Risk = 16-25
