5.3 The Multi-Purpose Pipeline The committee travelled to Kwamakuta and Adam's Mission to one of the pipeline's pump stations. In Durban, Transnet had three pump stations: the first one was Twini (the one which the committee visited), the second one was in Hilltop and the third one in Mnambithi. The pipeline's length is 550km from Durban to Johannesburg and has a capacity of 150 million litres of petroleum. On the way to the pump station Transnet indicated that on the surface the pipeline was marked by white cement stump indicating its direction. On arrival at the pump station the committee was taken to the control room. In the control room the screens showed how the product travelled through the pipeline. It also showed the speed at which petroleum travelled through the pipeline. The site manager explained that through the control room Transnet can easily pick up leaks or damage caused and can dispatch technicians to fix the problem.
