The construction of international brewer Heineken’s first South African brewery would be accelerated, building contractor Grinaker-LTA said on Thursday.
The company, which formed part of the JSE-listed Aveng group, has been awarded the R549-million contract to build the brewery South East of Johannesburg.
Grinaker-LTA contracts director Richard Amm said in a media statement that it was working on a “fast-track construction programme” and that the new brewery would be completed by June next year.
Amm said that Grinaker-LTA’s building and civil engineering business units were undertaking the project in a 50:50 joint venture.
“The programme is very tight as process contractors are required to be given access to each building and sections of each building on sectional completion dates,” he stated.
The brewery would comprise production buildings and cool cellars, as well as a bottling and distribution warehouse for Heineken SupplyCo, the brewing and distribution company for beer brand Amstel.
Amm noted that Grinaker-LTA would be using local labour wherever possible, and a community liaison officer would be employed to help source workers from the surrounding areas.
