en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport held its first internal strategic meeting, designating the Heidelberg Construction Office to lead the D781 road construction project for delivery under an internal construction model. The road construction project is located along the Ekurhuleni North-South Corridor and will be executed using the department's internal skills, equipment, and project management teams.

Kedibone Diala-Tlhabella, the Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport, stated that external procurement is limited to highly specialized services. The Heidelberg Construction Office is responsible for road construction, maintenance, and fleet management. Upon completion, this road construction project will serve as a replicable model to be promoted province-wide.

The road construction project will concurrently collaborate with higher education institutions on material testing, quality assurance, skills transfer, and technical training, providing students with work-integrated learning opportunities. Smart solutions are incorporated into the D781 road design. The meeting convened representatives from the roads, finance, risk management, stakeholder relations, and communications departments.

The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport stated that the internal construction model accelerates service delivery, controls costs, and strengthens quality and accountability. The D781 project is the first road construction project in the province to be led primarily by an internal team.
