OTTWA DEPOT NEW WORKSHOP FOR
CITY FLEET
Address: 30 Tottenham Road Ottawa Ward: 102 Client: eThekwini City Fleet Contract Period: March 2017 – Aug 2019 Contract Value: R37 million
City Fleet has successfully expanded their existing
Northern Ottawa workshop to double the capacity of the
workshop area and create necessary improvements to the
staff facilities (changerooms and canteen).
The linking administrative component between old and
new workshops facilitates better integration of
administrative and technical staff and upgraded
equipment allows for increased productivity.
The new development has installed rainwater harvesting
to conserve water used for building and vehicle cleaning.
In a pilot, the building contract included a budget for on-
site accredited training of local construction workers in
their preferred skills. Thirty people received certificates in
a range of construction fields (OHS and scaffold erection)
and this leaves a legacy of skills in the ward which can
assist in future capital works as well as improve job
opportunities for trainees who gathered practical
application of their classroom training in building this
workshop.
