This week, our subsidiary, TGOOD Africa, is celebrating the completion of the Fleurhof pre-fabricated substation project. Together with LEBOHANG CONSULTING ENGINEERS, Bamboo Rock and CALGRO M3 HOLDINGS this project was executed for Joburg CityPower in South Africa. ⚡
The Fleurhof Project is a 440-hectare mixed housing 🏘️ development with 30,000 housing units in the City of Johannesburg. In 2020 TGOOD Africa was given the green light to proceed with the design, manufacturing and supply of MV and HV switchgear installed in prefabricated ehouse buildings for the Fleurhof substation in the area.

TGOOD South Africa is proud to have partnered with Lebohang Project Management Ltd on the Fleurhof 11kV Switching Station Project, playing a vital role in electrifying one of South Africa’s most ambitious housing developments.
The Fleurhof Project, located near the historically significant Soweto Township, Project value is a ZAR 2.8 billion Development Is (US$350 million) mixed-use development spanning 440 hectares in Johannesburg. With more than 30,000 low- and middle-income housing units, along with schools, crèches, business hubs, and industrial sites, Fleurhof represents a major step toward integrated, inclusive urban living.
Fleurhof addresses the critical housing shortage in Johannesburg while fostering social and economic integration between Soweto and Roodepoort. It is a joint venture between International Housing Solutions (IHS) and Calgro M3, combining financial innovation with developmental expertise.
TGOOD is a global leader in vertically integrated substation solutions that is fully compliant and certified to IEC specifications and standards, and flexible enough to meet the requirements of various industries. It, therefore, came as no surprise that TGOOD was awarded this project.
The TGOOD prefabricated compact substation reduces constructions times by 3-6 months, and uses 20-30% less space than required by a traditional substation. Driven by our strict solution focus, and being able to take full advantage of our modular design concept, TGOOD are able to respond with maximum flexibility to clients’ preferences.
For Fleurhof, TGOOD Africa implemented the following:
⚡Seven bays of 145kV high voltage gas-inslated switchgear
⚡Forty 11kV medium voltage switchgear panels
⚡ Two rectifier and battery systems
⚡Protection and control system for HV switchgear, MV switchgear, battery system, communication panel, telemetry and quality of supply panel
⚡Prefabricated electrical houses to house all switchgear and protection equipment
⚡Fire detection
⚡Access control
⚡CCTV and intrusion system
⚡Supervision with installation and commissioning of the equipment
Our collaborative efforts with Lebohang Consulting Engineers, the appointed Owner’s Engineer for Calgro M3, ensured the successful approval of designs by City Power. Manufacturing commenced in August 2021, marking a key milestone in delivering safe, reliable energy infrastructure.
On November 2023 the substation was energised and handed over to Joburg CitiPower. The Fleurhof Substation is the largest prefabricated utility substation in Africa and it sits amongst the over 100,000 TGOOD-branded prefabricated substations that have been successfully installed since 2004.
We’re honoured to energise projects that uplift communities and support urban transformation.
It’s why, when you think ‘fast’, ‘flexible’ and ‘quality’, you think:
