1 Introduction & Study Area
1.1 Introduction
EDL Engineers (Pty) Ltd have been appointed to investigate a site for the development of a filling station. An investigation was undertaken to prepare a study for the opening and operation of a filling station on the proposed site, which is situated on Erf 37 Montana A.H., on the north western corner at the intersection of Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road in Montana A.H., Pretoria. The evaluation was for a standard filling station with a canopy covered forecourt, at least 4 pump islands with a number of pumps (min. 8 x 4) selling petrol and diesel fuels as well as a modern convenience store, all on a site that has enough space to accommodate all of the abovementioned amenities.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the proposed site is feasible for the opening and operation of a modern, benchmark filling station and to estimate the Litres of Fuel that will be sold monthly. The study considers the development viability by assessing the projected volume of fuel to be sold and possible impact on competitor filling stations.
This feasibility report takes certain physical characteristics into account based on observations during the site inspection as well as surveyed traffic volumes and then makes reasonable assumptions on possible access options. Please note that the approval of accesses, EIA, licensing, land use issues, building plans etc. is outside the scope of this feasibility report and therefore these implementation issues cannot be guaranteed. The developer of the facility must therefore still get all the required approvals for the filling station development on this site, including (but not limited to) the items listed above.
1.2 Study Area
As shown in Figure 1, the site is located in Montana A.H., Pretoria. The site area (Erf 37) is surrounded mainly by low density residential erven, with some high density residential and undeveloped erven in the vicinity. Hoërskool Montana and Montana Private Hospital is situated 500m west of the site. The Kolonnade Shopping Centre is situated 500m to the south of the site. The major transit route of Sefako Makgatho Drive is situated approx. 500m south of the site.
Dr Van Der Merwe Road is under jurisdiction of the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. This road functions as an Urban Collector Street (Class 4a).
Rooibos Road is under jurisdiction of the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. This road functions as an Urban Collector Street (Class 4b).
The location of the site is indicated on the locality map in Figure 1.

1.3 Population growth in the study area
As can be seen by the Graph below, the population growth for the area of Tshwane Region 2, has been positive every year since 2011 and from 333 083 people has grown to about 393 186 people in 2019. This calculates to an average population growth of just over 2.095% per annum. This is based on data from Statistics South Africa and from the census data obtained from City of Tshwane.

1.4 Traffic growth within the Study Area
Precise traffic growth patterns were not analyzed nor calculated in depth for this report. Due to the expanding residential areas, the retail centres and the main transient routes in the area as well as the developable land available in the area surrounding the site, an average of 3.0% annual traffic growth rate was assumed over the next 3 years for the study area.
1.5 Future Roads
Future road planning includes:
The proposed traffic circle conversion of the intersection of Dr Swanepoel Road and Rooibos Road, as proposed in the TIA done by EDL Engineers (Pty) Ltd for Erf 37 Montana A.H.

1.6 Evaluation of the Study Site
The subject site was investigated, and a qualitative assessment was made, and the site was ranked according to the following descriptions:
◘ Visibility: Being located on a collector route between several small residential developments and Sefako Makgatho Drive, with some natural obstructions and developments impairing the visibility, the site is visible to passing traffic from a moderate distance. The visibility can thus be described as GOOD;
◘ Location: The study site is located at the junction between a collector road (Dr Van Der Merwe Road) and another collector road (Rooibos Road), between the residential areas of Montana A.H. and the Sefako Makgatho Drive transient corridor. The location of the site is considered to be GOOD;
◘ Access: Both Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road is under jurisdiction of the municipality. Rooibos Road is planned to be upgraded with the addition of a traffic circle at the intersection of Dr Swanepoel Road and Rooibos Road. Access to the site can potentially be provided from Dr Van Der Merwe Road as a full access and from Rooibos Road as a Full access and it can hence be concluded that this access layout can be described as VERY GOOD;
◘ Trading Market: The trading market is described as GOOD, as it will consist of the daily commuters and local traffic between the residential areas and Sefako Makgatho Drive.
◘ Competitor Stations: There are a few existing filling stations situated on Sefako Makgatho Drive, of which 3 are within 1km radius from the site. There is a total of 8 sites within a 3km radius. There is also one possible new (future) filling station located within 1km to the east. The study site is thus rated AVERAGE in terms of competitors.
◘ Traffic Volumes: The survey indicated high volumes passing the proposed site and the exposure to traffic can thus be described as GOOD; and with the two “Full’ accesses proposed, traffic will be able to access the site from all directions.
Considering the criteria discussed above, it can be concluded that the study site has GOOD trading potential.
Very Poor Poor Average Good Very Good

2 Impact on Existing Sites
2.1 Competitor Sites
To determine the impact on surrounding sites, it is typical to look at the filling stations sharing the same and adjacent local markets as well as filling stations located along the same routes. This guideline is used by various departments, major fuel companies and agencies. A radius of 3km is normally looked at in an urban environment, as more impact on the competitors is expected, the closer they are located to the proposed site. In the case where the site is located along a rural arterial or major arterial, it is typical to look further as the area of influence is stretched along a much longer distance due to transient traffic traveling between towns and settlements.
As this site is located within a portion of a metropolitan, eight (8) existing sites within a 3km radius were deemed relevant for this study. Figure 2 depicts these competitor filling stations in relation to the proposed site as well as the applicable catchment markets.
2.2 Catchment Markets
Physical man‐made barriers (such as freeways, railways, airports etc.) or natural barriers (such as mountains, rivers or dams) create different markets (catchment areas) for a site. For this study, types of commuters (local vs transient) were also used to divide the study area into the following markets:
◘ A: The commuter and local market of Montana A.H.
◘ B: The commuter market of Montana

2.3 Competitor Sites Investigation
The exact reasons on how drivers make their decisions at which filling station to fill up is not known, but it is influenced by the same factors determining the turn‐in percentage (interception rate) to be discussed in Section 3.3. Other agencies, such as the Department of Energy, consider passing road users’ access to petroleum products at existing filling stations and not all the factors influencing the interception rate. These factors will determine the moving market factor (i.e. when the study site gains customers from other existing stations).
Research indicates several factors that influence the moving market between competing filling stations. Different petrol brands play a very small role in consumer motivations. The price of the convenience store goods plays a limited role in re‐patronage. Aesthetic factors impact on re‐patronage and total customer experience (i.e. the interception rate factors mentioned previously) lead people to become more frequent patrons of a filling station. In the past few years rewards programs such as Clicks Clubcard Points, e‐bucks and uCount rewards also became more important for customers and does influence the interception rate, when two filling stations are located near each other. In short, it is the station that delivers the best overall experience and service to customers that outperforms competitors.
The assessment of the impact the proposed filling station will have on other filling stations in the area was mainly based on the shared traffic streams, but all other factors discussed have also been considered. It is important to note that shared traffic only gives an indication of the daily traffic movement patterns between stations.
The following existing filling stations have been deemed relevant for this study and the distances to the site have been measured along each road to the competitors:

2.4 Impact on existing sites
An estimation of the shared traffic between the study site and the abovementioned existing competitor stations is summarised in Table 1. Shared traffic can be accurately calculated by conducting traffic counts at intersections closest to competitor stations and other intersections where traffic can be diverted. In lieu of such information, a percentage of shared traffic is calculated from previous counts and reasonable assumptions are made, based on EDL’s experience with conducting feasibility studies and knowledge regarding the area and traffic movement in the study area.

Note that the traffic shared between existing stations and the study site does not imply the same or proportional percentage of lost fuel sales. Passing road users are more likely to purchase fuel or turn into a filling station based on the overall aesthetic perception of the facility and the quality of service offered. The station’s location, its accesses, available amenities, visibility, site layout and overall convenience offered influence the loss of fuel sales when competing against a new, modern competitor. A summary of the potential loss in fuel sales is indicated in Table 2.

The development and operation of the proposed filling station will have an initial impact on a number of filling stations in the study area, but considering the shared traffic and different markets catered for by each one of these competitor stations, this impact should not irreparably jeopardise these businesses as they have a large transient market and this development mainly caters for a different portion of the local market.
The subject site will mainly serve traffic within the area of Montana A.H. and traffic travelling north, and south along Dr Van Der Merwe Road
2.5 Conclusion on Competitor Stations
From Table 2, it can be concluded that the impact of the competitors will be low, mainly to the competitor sites serving different markets. The existing SASOL Zambezi North and ENGEN Montana Crossing will be the most affected (7% to 7.5% impact) but will be able to recover most of the lost sales within 3 to 4 years after the proposed filling station is constructed. The balance of the expected fuel sales in a month, that is not gained from the mentioned competitors will be gained from the residential area surrounding the site, specifically Montana A.H. and also from passing vehicles on Dr Van Der Merwe Road that currently fill‐up elsewhere (outside the study area).

3 Estimated Sales of Proposed Site
The following empirical formula is used by the fuel industry to calculate the expected average Liters of fuel to be sold in a month:
L = ADT × F × p × d
Liters per month (L) = [Vehicles per day passing the site (ADT)]
x
[Average fuel fill per vehicle (F.)]
x
[Percentage vehicles of pass‐by traffic turning into the site(p)]
x
[Average full normal trading days in a month (d)]
Each of the factors used in the calculation formula for fuel sales shown above, are discussed in the following subsections of this chapter.
3.1 2019 Traffic Demand Count
Traffic Counts were used to determine the traffic demand and traffic volumes for the study area. A classified count was conducted by EDL in February 2019, at the intersection of Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road as indicated in Figure 1.
The detailed (classified) traffic count report is attached as Annexure C.
The Average Daily Traffic (ADT) currently travelling through this intersection is approximately 16 444 vehicles per day, with heavy vehicles constituting approximately 1.5% of the daily traffic and Taxi’s about 1.5% of the daily traffic.
The daily traffic flows were broken down in the different directions, as shown in the next Sub‐chapter.
3.2 2019 Traffic Demand (ADT)
The 13‐hour classified traffic count that was conducted by EDL was done on the 7th of February 2019 at the intersection of Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road, as indicated in Figure 1. These counts were converted to 24‐hour counts and broken up into different traffic streams as shown below:
◘ 3 333 veh/day northbound on Dr Van Der Merwe Road past the site;
◘ 4 097 veh/day westbound on Rooibos Road past the site (Negative);
◘ 3 422 veh/day eastbound on Rooibos Road past the site;
◘ 4 040veh/day southbound on Dr Van Der Merwe Road past the site (Negative)
◘ 1 552veh/day not passing the site.
From the traffic count (2020), the site is exposed to an ADT of approx. 14 892 veh/day travelling in all directions along Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road at the intersection where the filling station is proposed.

EDL ENGINEERS (PTY) LTD 15
3.3 Average Fill (F)
The average fill at a site varies depending on the type of traffic it is exposed to, with higher fills generally encountered at sites exposed to more transient traffic and lower fills for local traffic. Lower fills can also be expected for sites situated in lower income areas, for older sites and higher fills in more affluent (high income) areas.
In order to get an indication of the average fill in die study area, a survey was conducted at the relevant sites where fill volumes were recorded, and the facilities provided at each station recorded. The survey indicated an average fill at nearby stations in higher income areas of approximately 15 – 27 litres per vehicle. Due to the slightly lower density housing in the area of Montana A.H. and for the purpose of the study, an average fill of 20 litres per vehicle was deemed appropriate and adopted for the calculations of the subject site.
3.4 Interception Rates (p)
The turn‐in percentages (interception rates) are determined inter alia by the following factors:
◘ Convenience (clean new facility and easily accessible);
◘ Visibility (good/long time to decide whether to use the facility or not);
◘ The amount of passer‐by traffic (as per traffic count);
◘ Type of traffic (transient, commuter or local; income level of the area also a factor);
◘ Other nearby filling stations (distances to competitor sites);
◘ Service provided to public (car wash, convenience shop, A.T.M. etc);
◘ Good accesses (proper deceleration and acceleration lanes);
◘ Location (homebound and work bound and surrounding area);
◘ Site layout (large enough to provide easy site circulation)
◘ Fuel Rewards Programs
From previous site surveys and experience with existing and new filling station developments, it has been determined that there is a relationship between the interception rate and the passing traffic volumes of a site. This relationship is illustrated by the graph below. The expected interception rates for the proposed development are also indicated on the graph and tabulated in Table 3 on the next page. The interception rates for traffic flow on the opposite side of the road from the filling station is lower as vehicles need to cross traffic to enter the filling station.

3 422 6.5%
Southbound on Dr Van Der Merwe past the site (Negative Traffic)

As can be seen on the Interception Rate vs ADT graph, the interception rates expected for the subject site varies on Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road. Lower interception rates are expected for the traffic travelling on the opposite side of the street, which will have to turn across oncoming traffic (negative traffic).

3.5 Full trading days in a month
The definition of full (normal) trading days in a month is the number of typical weekday sales in a month. A typical weekday is a Tuesday, Wednesday or a Thursday during a week with no school holidays or public holidays. If there was no variation in the traffic, there would have been 30.5 (365/12) full normal trading days in a month. If, for example, the weekend traffic demand is lower than during the week, the full normal trading days in a month becomes less. It is thus wrong to assume that a default value of 30.5 days should be used since a 24‐hour facility will be operated each day of the month.
Traffic patterns in the study area largely determine the number of trading days per month. For filling stations situated in areas largely exposed to commuter traffic, 26 full trading days in a month can be expected. The 26 days is based on the fact that a Saturday and Sunday each only count for only half a trade day, resulting in only 6 full days of trading each week.
With no nearby large developments and attractions generating higher traffic on Saturdays and Sundays. It is expected that 26 trading days per month is appropriate and was therefore assumed for the proposed filling station.
3.6 Expected Monthly Sales
For new developments a general guideline is used when estimating fuel sales for future years. It is commonly found that the full potential of a filling station’s fuel sales is not reached during the first year of operation. Only during the third year the full (100%) potential is normally reached.
In‐depth calculations for diesel sales were not conducted separately for this study. The average fills on diesel is more than that of petrol, but the profit per litre is lower. It was thus assumed that the typical profit on diesel transactions will be similar to the profit on petrol transactions. Diesel sales normally constitute only 5 – 20% of the total fuel sales, depending on the % Heavy Vehicles and there are usually other competitors that already cater for the diesel market, by offering reward programs and discounts as well as 30‐day accounts.
For the purpose of this study and considering the surrounding area and the very low percentage of heavy vehicles passing the site, it was estimated that diesel transactions will account for approximately only 10% of the monthly fuel sales. A summary of the estimated fuel sales is presented in Table 4 on the next page.

Major fuel companies generally regard a new site feasible if the fuel sales volume forecast indicates that more than 300 000 litres of fuel will be sold per month. Considering the expected fuel sales tabulated in Table 4 to just over 360 000 litres in the 3rd year of operations, it can be concluded that the proposed site will be feasible for the development of a filling station for all the larger fuel companies, (such as SASOL, TOTAL, ENGEN, BP, SHELL, etc.) on the corner of Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road, Montana A.H., Pretoria. Please note that the feasibility will be dependent on obtaining direct ‘Full’ access approval from both Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road.

4 Feasibility of Proposed Site
We have previously consulted with filling station developers and considered several new filling station development cases for minimum monthly fuel sales thresholds and for development costs. Table 4 below provides a summary of the typical costs associated with a new, modern filling station development located on a site roughly like the proposed filling station.

The cost variation of a filling station development is largely influenced by the cost of the zoned property, the size of the site and the civil engineering works (mainly the cost of the earthworks and the accesses). Major fuel companies generally regard such a site feasible if the projected fuel sales are in the region of 300 000 liters per month, depending on several factors, but this is not cast in stone and various fuel companies have different views on the required minimum fuel sales thresholds. Given the expected fuel sales in year 3, tabulated in Table 4 (361 000 liters per month), it can be concluded that the proposed filling station will be feasible for the larger fuel companies as the projected fuel sales are more than 300 00 litres per month.

5 Other Traffic Engineering Considerations
5.1 Impact on Traffic Flow past the site (Safety)
Road authorities have in the past identified the possible negative impact a filling station can have on the traffic flow past a site. After proper research and the input from various experienced traffic engineers, the BB2 design manual and Guidelines for Access to Filling Stations were compiled to ensure the construction of proper and safe accesses to filling stations.
As negotiated with the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, a ‘Full’ access is proposed on Dr Van Der Merwe Road at approx. 85m north of the intersection of Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road.
A ‘Full’ access is proposed on Rooibos Road at approx. 75m west of the intersection of De Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road.
The impact of the proposed filling station on the existing traffic flow must be considered for the following two phases:
(i) During the Construction Phase
During the construction phase, construction vehicles or even abnormal vehicles or delivery vehicles could affect and/or disrupt current traffic flows. During this phase possible traffic congestion or increase in congestion, temporary obstructions in the roadway and the influence on adjacent developments must be considered.
(ii) During the Operational Phase
During the operational phase the existing traffic flow patterns on the roadways adjacent to the proposed site are expected to vary and change over time. Filling stations are developments that intercept trips from the background traffic as opposed to other developments that generate additional trips. The interception of traffic could cause minor disruptions if not considered thoroughly.
The following issues should be considered to minimize the possible negative impacts that the proposed filling station might have on the passing traffic during the operational phase:
◘ The detail design of the proposed filling station should adhere to the prescribed specifications (and subsequent approvals) of the applicable road authorities;
◘ Care should be taken pertaining to the placing of signage in the proximity of access points to the proposed filling station;
◘ Issues pertaining to surface damage and poor condition of the roads in proximity of the site should be reported to the applicable authority and custodian of the respective roads; and
◘ Appropriate road signs and traffic markings should be implemented at the site to ensure safe and convenient access for passing traffic on both roads.
FILLING STATION FEASIBILITY STUDY (Rev 0) ERF 37 MONTANA A.H., PRETORIA, GAUTENG (C/O DR VAN DER MERWE ROAD & ROOIBOS ROAD)
EDL ENGINEERS (PTY) LTD 21
It can be concluded that the existing traffic passing the site will not be negatively affected by the proposed filling station’s operations, as the issues mentioned above will be addressed by proper access design standards, turning and deceleration lanes (where applicable) as well as appropriate signage.
5.2 Delivery Vehicle Path
Like road safety, the path of the delivery vehicle is also evaluated by the road authority. The geometric standards adopted in the design manuals allow for a fuel delivery vehicle to enter and exit a site safely. Typically, the entrance lane width should be at least 5m wide, to accommodate a Single Unit + Trailer Heavy Vehicle. For light vehicles a minimum width of only 3.5m is required.
It can be concluded that the proposed site will be able to accommodate such fuel delivery vehicles.

6 Conclusions
The following conclusions were made regarding the proposed filling station:
◘ The expected fuel sales for the proposed filling station development is summarized in Table 4. The estimated fuel sales for the proposed filling station’s third year of operation is approximately 361 000 litres per month.
◘ The proposed filling station is expected to take between 5% and 7.5% from five(5) competitor sites (Table 2), with 3 sites expected to be impacted less than a 5%. The proposed site will have an initial negative impact (between 5% and 7.5%) on a number of existing filling stations in the study area, but considering the different markets and traffic streams catered for, by each of the existing filling stations as well as the distances away from the proposed filling station, the impact should not irreparably jeopardize these businesses and with the positive traffic growth in the area, will be able to recover within 3 – 4 years of the new Filling Station being implemented.
As Per Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality negotiations, a ‘Full’ access is proposed on Dr Van Der Merwe Road and a ‘Full’ access is also proposed on Rooibos Road, details are shown on Drawing 20017/AL/01.
General Conclusion
Major fuel companies generally regard a new site feasible if the fuel sales are more than 300 000 litres sold per month. Regarding the proposed site, as the passing traffic is over 16,400 vehicles per day and the monthly volume as summarized in Table 4 is estimated at 361 000 litres per month by the 3rd year of operation, the proposed site will be feasible for all of the fuel companies.
Considering the expected fuel sales tabulated in Table 4, it can be concluded that the proposed site will indeed be feasible for the development of a filling station, subject to obtaining access approval from Dr Van Der Merwe Road and Rooibos Road.
