<p>Hi Hanlie,</p>
<p>I am going to make some statements which may seem obvious to you, so please excuse me if you already know the following: </p>
<ul>
<li>Pipelines and other servitudes usually have SG diagrams lodged in the Surveyors General offices (SGO) for servitudes to be registered by the Registrar of Deeds. Sometimes, servitudes are sufficiently described by reference to physical features on the land parcel’s SG diagram, so no servitude diagram is needed.</li>
<li>Servitude diagrams usually have coordinate values on Lo at each bend point of the servitude.</li>
<li>Servitude diagrams can be downloaded for free from the Chief Surveyor General’s (CSG) website at <a href="http://csg.dla.gov.za/">http://csg.dla.gov.za/</a> . Servitudes can be identified by viewing the SG diagram for the land parcel that is traversed by the servitude. There will be an endorsement on the SG diagram that lists the SG number of the servitude diagram, which can then be downloaded.</li>
<li>Some servitudes have been captured in the spatial databases of the various SGO’s. Initially, servitudes were not captured as a priority was made of capturing land parcels. More recently, new servitudes have been captured as their SG diagrams have been approved, and historic servitude diagrams have been captured in areas where upgrades of spatial data have taken place.</li>
<li>Spatial data in shapefile format for each province is available from the respective SGO’s- contact details can be found at <a href="http://csg.dla.gov.za/contact.htm">http://csg.dla.gov.za/contact.htm</a>. This data is usually extracted once a month. Alternatively data for any or all provinces can be obtained from the Chief GISc Professional at the CSG. This data may be up to three months old. The data is free, but processing time and postage has to be paid for.</li>
</ul>

<pre>Hi
Does anyone know if the gas pipelines in SA are available in spatial format?
I have already Googled and found this map on the web
<a href="http://www.theodora.com/pipelines/south_africa_mozambique_and_zimbabwe_oil_gas_and_products_pipelines_map.html">http://www.theodora.com/pipelines/south_africa_mozambique_and_zimbabwe_oil_gas_and_products_pipelines_map.html</a>
but I don't know what the data sources are.
I guess PASA, PetroSA and Transnet are options, but I know for a fact
that the first two charge for their data.
If anyone has a contact at Transnet, will you please let me have their
contact details?
Thanks
Hanlie
