he seawater desalination plant at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa, is a privately


owned project under construction by Proxa Water, a specialist water treatment company contracted to deliver a reliable supply of potable water to the precinct, replacing dependency on city dams, which have in recent years been threatened by drought. Cranes and hoists are key to these


plants, where they are installed as part of the civil works to lift and position pumps, electric motors and other machinery during construction, after which they serve in a service and maintenance role throughout the plants’ working lives.
