As a company that specializes in helping private companies with wayleave applications, we recently had the opportunity to assist a client with a road construction project for the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA). The project involved connecting residents to a less congested route, which required obtaining wayleave documents for several affected services, including Egoli Gas, Sasol Gas, and Rand Water.
While the process of obtaining wayleaves can be complex and time-consuming, our experience with this project taught us several valuable lessons. First and foremost, it’s important to have detailed drawings of all affected services. In this case, we had to request drawings from all three service providers, which took some time and required us to follow up with them several times.
In addition to drawings, it’s often necessary to physically locate the services in question. This can involve meeting with service providers on-site to identify the location of services, or even digging pilot holes to expose them. However, it’s worth noting that these additional steps can add extra costs to the project, as they require additional time and resources.
Overall, our experience with this project underscored the importance of thorough preparation and attention to detail when it comes to wayleave applications for road construction. By ensuring that we had all the necessary documentation and taking the time to physically locate the services, we were able to successfully obtain the required wayleave documents and help our client move forward with their project.
