The South Africa's fuel pipeline system is responsible for over 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) of pipelines. It is responsible for petroleum storage and pipeline maintenance. The pipelines works with petrols, diesel fuel, jet fuel, crude oil and natural gas(methane rich gas). Total throughput is over 16 bn liters per year.
It uses a telecontrol system to monitor the pipeline. The telecontrol system "allows for automatic leak detection and batch tracking". The system operates with a 4 second delay between an event in the pipeline and on-screen display in Durban.
All pipes in the pipelines conform to ASME B31.4, an American code of practice, with their diameters designated in inches from six inches (nominally 150 mm) to 20 inches (nominally 508 mm). Pressure in the pipeline network is monitored on a 24 hour-a-day, 365 days-a-year basis at the control centre at the Durban head office.
The cache is actually across the street from the pipeline endpoint in front of the First Randhart Scout Hall. The cache is hidden somewhere on Boekenhout street.
