Air Liquide appointed SRK for civil engineering, geotechnical and environmental aspects for an air separation unit at Highveld Steel, Witbank, SA. The plant will supply liquid oxygen, nitrogen, argon and gaseous oxygen. SRK designed concrete structures and containers for storing and moving the liquids and gases using approximately 7760t of concrete and 384t of steel. The site designs included earthworks, dewatering, roads, drainage, and technical and administrative buildings, over the 3-hectare site. The project was completed mid-2014.
