    Modernising Urban Bulk Water Infrastructure in Zimbabwe

    Securing reliable water access for growing urban centers and industrial zones is one of Zimbabwe’s most critical infrastructure priorities. Modernizing aging bulk water reticulation networks, treatment plants, and reservoirs is key to economic resilience.

    Addressing Water Security & Loss Reduction

    Non-revenue water loss caused by leaks and pipe bursts drains municipal resources. Integrated civil engineering deploys hydraulic modeling, automated pressure reduction valves, and high-capacity reinforced concrete storage reservoirs to optimize supply networks.

    “Water infrastructure must be designed for long-term endurance. Connecting raw water sources to modern treatment facilities protects community health and economic growth.”

    Core Infrastructure Components

    • Bulk Water Treatment: Designing reverse osmosis and filtration plants to meet statutory water quality standards.
    • Reinforced Concrete Reservoirs: Liquid-retaining storage reservoirs engineered for structural longevity and zero seepage.
    • High-Capacity Pump Stations: Energy-efficient pumping systems with standby generator backup and surge protection.

    OHM Core Engineering delivers end-to-end civil engineering solutions that strengthen water security across Southern Africa.

  • Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) for Stormwater Control

    Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) for Stormwater Control

    As urban density increases, managing heavy seasonal rainfall requires innovative civil engineering solutions. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) offer a natural, cost-effective approach to stormwater management in commercial and residential developments.

    Preventing Urban Flooding & Foundation Damage

    Traditional concrete gutters can become overwhelmed during severe storms, leading to localized flooding and soil erosion around building foundations. SuDS techniques slow stormwater flow, encourage natural infiltration, and filter pollutants before water enters local rivers.

    Key SuDS Techniques for Zimbabwean Developments

    • Attenuation Ponds & Basins: Holding ponds that store peak runoff and release it at controlled rates.
    • Permeable Paving: Pavements that allow rainwater to soak through into sub-surface storage layers.
    • Bioswales & Vegetated Channels: Landscaped channels that slow water velocity and trap sediments naturally.

    OHM Core Engineering incorporates Sustainable Drainage Systems into civil designs to protect property investments and preserve local environments.
