Daimler Truck Southern Africa Limited (DTSA) is proposing to develop a logistics sequencing facility within the East London Industrial Development Zone (ELIDZ), Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality (BCMM). The project scope entails the construction of an industrial building (16 000m² approximately) together with concrete hardstands, ancillary buildings, parking area and the associated engineering services to support the development.
The proposed logistics sequencing facility will consist of the following key elements:
•
The onsite storage of diesel in above ground tanks with a total monthly volume of 5000 Liters (5m3)
•
Footprint size of the facility described as:
➢
Sequencing (Phase 1) Area: = 16 245 m²
➢
Sequencing Canopies Area: = 1 215 m²
➢
Office Area: = 200 m²
➢
Refuse Area: = 135 m²
➢
Entrance Canopy Area: = 375 m²
➢
Hardstand Area: = 6 300 m²
➢
Roadways And Parking: = 17 000 m²
•
Total footprint for the logistics sequencing facility= 4.147 hectares
The proposed sequencing facility will be located at 33°3′31.92"S; 27°50′40.34"E in the ELIDZ, which is zoned for industrial purposes. The site is situated within a Critical Biodiversity Area (CBA 1) as defined in the Eastern Cape Biodiversity Conservation Plan (ECBCP, 2019).
