Supply, Delivery and Installation of 2 Autoclaves and an Effluent Treatment System for Central Veterinary Laboratories
Ministry of Agriculture
2015
CTS ensures that your system is designed for your requirements. With our years of experience, we not only install, but also service and maintain the equipment today, and in the years to come.
With our extensive knowledge in sterilization and infection control, CTS installed suitable autoclaves with BSL3 seals. In addition to the autoclaves, an effluent treatment system was also installed. This system collects the effluent from the autoclaves, sinks and wash basins, and collects it in one tank. Once a certain level has been reached, a second tank will collect the effluent, while sterilization begins in the first tank. In this way, collection of the effluent is not delayed whilst sterilization is being performed in one of the tanks. Through this system, the highest level of decontamination is achieved, ensuring a safe environment.
CVL is classified as a BSL 3 laboratory. BSL 3 means a biosafety level of 3. This is a level of bio-containment precautions, required to isolate dangerous agents, which may cause serious diseases. This includes various bacteria, viruses and parasites. CVL required autoclaves with a BSL3 seal approval, as well as an effluent treatment system, to decontaminate a wide range of aqueous liquids.
CTS was awarded the tender to supply, deliver to site, installation, testing and commission of two autoclaves and an effluent treatment system for CVL.

Installation of 10 Automatic Weather Stations in Botswana
University of Hamburg
2014
CTS was approached by the Botswana Meteorological Department and the University of Hamburg with the request to install automatic weather stations across Botswana. A total of 10 stations were engineered and build at our workshop in Windhoek prior to installation commencement. With our own tower design, the installation time is reduced to nearly 8 hours per tower.
The stations are equipped with sensors from Vaisala, Kipp and Zonen. At the heart of each station is the CR1000 logger from Campbell Scientific. Each station is capable to measure the following:
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Humidity
- Air Temperature
- Irradiance
- Barometric pressure
- Ground Temperature
- Rain
- Leaf wetness
In addition to the above parameters the following parameters are calculated by the logger by means of mathematical models.
- Dew point temperature
- Wet bulb temperature
- Sunshine duration
The data from the station is transmitted to ftp servers situated in Gaborone/Botswana as well as Hamburg/Germany on an hourly bases over locally available GSM network providers. Once the data is uploaded to the server in Hamburg, it is processed and posted on a publicly available website. This website collects data of numerous stations across Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Angola and South Africa for research purposes. A total of 8000km was covered in just under 4 weeks.

Supply and Installation of Automatic Weather Stations at Kanovlei and Koichab Pan
National Botanical Research Institute
2014
National Botanical Research institute approached CTS to upgrade two of their existing AWS to satellite communication and subsequent installation at Kanovlei in the Tsumkwe Area as well as Koichab Pan close to Lüderitz.
Communication is via Meteosat satellites and based on a “fire and forget” principal which unfortunately does not allow remote maintenance procedures.
The stations form part of the SASSCAL Weathernet and measure all important meteorological parameters.

Installation of Containerized Off-Grid PV Systems in the Otjozondjupa Region
Ministry of Mines and Energy
2015
Three localities in the Otjozondjupa region
where successfully electrified by means of Off-Grid PV containers. The system
sizes varied from 6kW, 12kW to 25kW of PV power. PV modules where installed on
roofs of nearby houses, batteries, inverter/charger and switchgear are located
in our proven design of prefabricated containers to keep the components cool,
even in the hottest of climates.
The system is an AC coupled PV system with SMA
Sunny Island (SI 8.0) inverter and SunnyBoys of various sizes. Communication between
all components is based on a wireless RS485 solution from Phoenix Contact with
a distance covered of 1.5km.
Sites that were electrified in the Otjozondjupa region are:
- Rooidag Hek
- M’Kata
- Kukurushe

6kw grid feed photovoltaic system installed in Klein Windhoek
Private
2011
CTS was approached by a senior resident of Klein Windhoek to install a grid-tied photovoltaic system with the aim to cut back on the monthly electricity bill. The system included:
- 42x 130W photovoltaic modules and mounting structure
- 1x 6kW grid tied inverter
The system is designed such as to generate an estimated 900kWh per month.

Manufacture, Supply and Installation of 3 Automatic Weather Stations in Northern Namibia
Ministry of Agriculture
2019
Ministry of Agriculture through, through SASSCAL funding, did acquire 3 automatic weather stations in 2018 which where finally installed in 2019 after sites have been determined. These stations from part of the existing SASSCAL weather station network that has been established over the past years. All stations conform to SASSCAL requirements and are inline with WMO standards.
The stations are installed at :
- Dudukabe (Zambezi)
- Okalongo (Ohangwena)
- Omafo (Ohangwena)
